PARTICIPANTS REQUIRED

Do you use Augmentative and Alternative Communication?

Have you worked as a volunteer?

Associate Professor Susan Balandin and colleagues are looking for people to participate in a study about the experiences of volunteers who use AAC.

We are looking for people who:

• are 18 years or older
• have a physical disability
• use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
• speak and understand English
• have worked as a volunteer (even for just one hour)

A researcher will interview you on 2 occasions in order to learn about your experiences of working as a volunteer. Each interview will take between 1-2 hours and will be audio recorded. At the completion of the study we will provide you with a written summary of the outcomes and our recommendations for improving opportunities for people who use AAC and who want to work as volunteers.

To find out more, please download the information sheet and call David Trembath on (02) 9351 9870 or send him an email at D.Trembath@usyd.edu.au
