Hello my name is Adrian Bolesnikov and I'm a Masters student at Carleton University in Ottawa Canada and am doing a research project on the experiences of people with visual impairment using board and card games. A few months ago I made a recruitment notice here for my study and we're looking for a few more participants to share their insights so keep reading for some information!
We want to explore the experiences of people with vision impairments playing board and card games, topics ranging from barriers faced when playing them to methods you have used to make your own games more accessible!
Participation involves:
* An interview that will last no more than 60 minutes and does not present any risk to participants
* Notes will be taken during the interview and audio recordings will be encouraged. You will have the opportunity to withdraw your consent from being recorded.
* Data will be stored on password-protected computers only accessible to the research team.
Eligibility:
* Vision impaired (blind or low vision)
* 18 years of age or older
* Comfortable with the English language
* No level of board game experience is required, if you have any experiences or information you would like to share we would like to hear!
Interviews will take place via participants' choice of online platform (e.g. Zoom, Google Meet) or by Phone. Participants will also be compensated for their time with a $25 e-gift card of your choosing, with the default option being from Amazon.
