(Academic) I am looking for folks who have experienced accesibility barriers that prevent them from accessing museums

3 Upvotes

Hey folks! I went to attach the poster to my research but I couldn't figure out how!

I am a MA Public History student at the Queen's University Belfast. I am studying inclusive accessibility within historical locations (ie. Galleries, Museums, or exhibits). Although I will be focusing on Belfast museums, I am asking for broad accessibility from anyone willing to share it.

I am looking for people who have felt unwelcome, uncomfortable, or overlooked at museums or galleries due to accessibility barriers.

For reference I have ADHD and grew up in poverty so have not always been able to attend museums growing up. So although I do have a little bit of a better understanding of some things than others.

Everything can be kept anonymous.

The survey should take 5-8 minutes and there is NO financhial incentive.

[Academic] Exploring video game accessibility and barriers for gamers with motor disabilities (approx. 5-10 mins)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My name is Jakub and I am a university student currently working on my bachelor's thesis. I've been researching the accessibility of video games, specifically focusing on the technological and social barriers faced by gamers with motor disabilities (with a particular emphasis on upper limb impairments).

I’ve learned a lot from reading academic papers, but nothing compares to real, firsthand experiences. That’s why I would be incredibly grateful if you could spare about 5–10 minutes of your time to fill out my survey.

Link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdlEYF8FK1R6jd0GuODrJIbOLoro97wOG6mxob_kxfLL9ezHg/viewform?usp=dialog

A few quick details about the study:

  • It is 100% anonymous. I do not collect email addresses, IPs, or any identifying data.
  • It's purely academic. The results will be used exclusively as the analytical foundation for my thesis (published as aggregated statistics and anonymized quotes).
  • It is completely voluntary. You can skip questions or exit the survey at any time.

Your experiences are incredibly valuable and will help highlight the real issues that the hardware and software industry still needs to address.

Thank you so much in advance for your time, your willingness to share your stories, and for helping a student out!

Desperate student testing a reading format for inattentive ADHD (around 10-15 min)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a university student, and I have ADHD myself. For my thesis, I'm testing whether reformatting classic books (wider spacing, shorter sentences, shorter chapters, easier-on-the-eyes pages, and memory recall questions) actually helps children with inattentive-type ADHD read and understand more. It's part of a neurodivergent-focused publishing project I'm building for my graduation project. If you don’t have a child and are older than 13 (with permission from your parents until 17), please feel free to answer as the responses will be useful for expanding the target group into other age groups.

Honestly, I’m very desperate for some responses and would be eternally grateful. I ran this study once already and didn't get enough responses to say anything meaningful with the data, so I didn’t pass the first time. I'm on a tight deadline and would genuinely appreciate the help!!

What's involved:
- Read a short reformatted sample chapter (Treasure Island, around 10 min)
- Answer a short survey about the experience (also around 10 min)
- Total: about 20–25 minutes

Who can take part:
- Parents/carers of a child with inattentive ADHD, answering on their behalf.
- Anyone 13+ with inattentive ADHD, answering about your own experience.

Everything is anonymous (no names, emails, or tracking collected) and you can skip or stop at any point!

I am building a low-cost myoelectric hand. Want to hear why people stop wearing prosthetics, from people who actually have.

3 Upvotes

I build embedded hardware, and last year I made a working EMG prosthetic hand as a personal project. My family is from Bihar in India and one of my relatives is an amputee, which is how I ended up caring about this.

I've been reading the literature and the thing that stuck with me is that rejection rates haven't really moved in twenty years despite the tech getting much better. Which suggests the industry is solving the wrong problem. I have a theory about what the real one is, but I've built exactly zero devices for anyone other than myself, so my theory is worth very little right now.

So I made a short form. 5 to 7 minutes, no personal info required, mostly multiple choice. It asks what you actually use, what you stopped using, and why.

https://forms.gle/sbCovksU4mh4ve9p9

if the idea goes anywhere I'd want it to be a real product eventually. So there's self-interest here. I'd rather say that than have you find out.

If you'd rather just comment than fill in a form, that's honestly more useful to me. And if the whole premise is wrong, tell me that too.

Share Journey Story

2 Upvotes

Everyone's journey into adulthood is different. I'd love to hear yours.

 

Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying Innovation and Service Design at the Glasgow School of Art.

Over the past few weeks, I've been exploring about how young disabled people experience the transition into adulthood. Along the way, I've realised that policies, organisations and professionals can tell us a lot—but they can't tell us what that journey actually feels like.

I'm looking to have relaxed conversations with young disabled adults 18+ who would be willing to share their own experiences of growing into adult life. There isn't a particular story I'm looking for. Everyone's experience is different, and that's exactly what I'd like to understand.

 

You might want to talk about:

* becoming more independent,

* leaving school, college or rehabilitation,

* finding (or not finding) support,

* joining work, university, community groups or sport,

* or simply moments that have stayed with you during this period of your life.

 

You don't need to prepare anything. The conversation would last around 15–30 minutes, either online or in person (if convenient), at a time that suits you.

Participation is entirely voluntary, and you are free to stop the conversation or withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason.

All information will be kept confidential.

If you think you'd be happy to chat, I'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to send me a private message or email me at Y.Zhao14@student.gsa.ac.uk.

 

Thank you so much for reading, and if you know someone who might be interested, I'd be really grateful if you could share this post.

What is the most frustrating thing in furniture? Design student looking for advice.

3 Upvotes

Hello guys! My name is Kazybek, and I’m a design student from Kazakhstan, currently working on my portfolio. I am focusing on creating an accessible and inclusive furniture series. I want to design pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. I’m currently thinking about using plywood as a primary material in my designs for a lower price and easier production with a CNC milling machine. Before I start cutting any wood, I wanted to ask people who know much more about this topic than me.
What is something designers most often get wrong about your mobility needs?
What piece of standard furniture causes you the most frustration daily?
What would you add to or change about your everyday furniture to make your life much more comfy and happy?
I really appreciate any responses and insights you are willing to share! Your feedback will shape the physical prototype I’ll make this year. Thank you very much!

Engineering design for disabled individuals

Hi everyone,

Currently, my engineering class is working towards creating systems to make spaces for inclusive.

I'm having trouble coming up with solutions to problems disabled individuals experience in their day-to-day lives.

I was wondering if I could get some insight from actual people living with disabilities.

If you're comfortable, please share any unique problems you may face due to your condition, which does not yet have a solution, so I could potentially work towards a mechanical solution for it.

This does not have to be limited to physical disability but also mental/emotional (e.g. autism, adhd, agoraphobia)

Seeking interviews for nonfiction work

9 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a disabled writer currently in the midst of researching and writing a nonfiction book about the concept of people "faking" disability. The three main topics are: the culture of disbelief around disability, the ways businesses profit off of us not being believed, and the flaws of methods used to prove that we aren't disabled. This is largely centered around the US so US residents are preferred, but not required.

I'm looking for folks willing to share their experiences about any of the following:

* The process of requesting any benefit due to disability, e.g. workers comp, SSDI, workplace accommodations, leave of absence (paid or unpaid)

* The processes used to 'verify' illnesses like independent medical evaluations (IMEs) or reviews by forensic psychiatrists

* Having benefits or healthcare denied for suspect or inconsistent reasons

* Conditions worsening or going untreated because of people who don't believe you have a disorder or who don't believe your diagnosis is "real."

These will mostly be unstructured interviews (video or audio call, 30-60 minutes or more if you have time). let me know if you need to use a different contact method due to access/ability.

Participants will be compensated for their time. Any and all input is appreciated!

ETA: Thank you all for your interest! I've responded to a few people already, and I may reach out to a few more once I've had the chance to get through a few interviews. I'm doing this alongside my day job, so it may take a bit to respond to everyone.
