We are developing Work ACCESS, a new online tool and app to help people, particularly employers and employees with disabilities, make informed accommodation decisions. We would like your input on what assessment questions need to be asked, what solutions should be prioritized for different scenarios, and when outside experts should be consulted.

Dates and Times

We will hold several focus group sessions centered around different topics. Please take note.

• Thursday, Jan. 30 at 9:20 - 10:50 a.m. -- Communication
• Thursday, Jan. 30 at 11:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m. -- Computer Input (light lunch provided)
• Thursday, Jan. 30 at 2:20 p.m.-3:20 p.m -- Workstations

• Friday, Jan. 31 at 9:20 - 10:50 a.m. -- Computer Output
• Friday, Jan. 31 at 11:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m -- Workstations (light lunch provided)
• Friday, Jan. 31 at 2:20 - 3:20 p.m. -- Interface Design for Our Accommodation Tools

You will be asked to spend about a half hour reviewing the section of materials to be discussed, then participate in a group interview that will last 60 to 90 minutes. You will receive $40 as compensation for your time.

These sessions will be held in one of the Caribe Royale villas, which is to be determined. We will inform participants no later than Wedneday, January 29 of the focus group location.

You can contribute your experience to the development of the tool by participating in one or more of our internet-based group interviews. Five to eight people will participate in each session. The sessions will include critical review and brainstorming of assessment questions and decision branches for already-begun and new accommodation scenarios.

Interview Requirements

In order to take part in the interviews, you must:

• Have experience using and/or recommending workplace accommodations
• Be 18 years old or older
• Work in and be participating from the United States
