The overall purpose of this project is to enhance consumer participation in wireless research and development by expanding and refining the research “portal” into the needs of people with disabilities for wireless technologies. This portal is the Wireless RERC’s Consumer Advisory Network (CAN), the nationwide network of approximately 1,000 individuals with all types of disabilities. CAN members are frequently called upon to provide insights and feedback on emerging issues related to use, usability, needs and wants of wireless technologies. Insights from CAN members will form the empirical basis for reports, presentations, and regulatory filings produced by the Wireless RERC, and also contribute directly to proposed RERC projects. Specific aims of this project are:
