The Assistive Devices Division (ADD) of the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers
Association (CEMA), a sector of the Electronics Industries Association (EIA),
plans to conduct 3 focus group sessions during the CSUN Technology Conference
             in Los Angeles at the LAX Marriot Hotel.

The sessions will take place on Thursday, March 21 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm and
again on Friday, March 22 at 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

          The major objectives of the focus groups are:

       - To explore unmet product needs by disability type

- To learn about the decision making process for purchasing assistive
                    products and technologies

To maintain specific focus, we are looking for individuals who fit into
                    the following categories:

                   - Blind or visually impaired
                    - Deaf or hard of hearing
                       - Mobility impaired

Please note that we are hoping to expand this research in the future to
              cover other disability-related groups.

In order to ensure productive sessions, the number of participants will be
limited to 10 persons per session. A financial incentive of $50 will be paid to
attendees at the conclusion of each focus group. If you are interested in
participating in a session and have a disability or are a professional care
     giver or therapist, please complete the attached survey.

CEMA will be selecting a representative sample from the returned surveys and
will contact those selected to participate in early March with further
                           information.

Please complete the attached form and forward it by electronic mail to Clare
                  Bennethum at: clareb@eia.org

Additionally, you may FAX the completed form to the attention of Clare Bennethum
