Education Techology Survey

The National Federation of the Blind gathers information regarding the accessibility of virtual instruction and educational technology used by our nation’s schools (kindergarten through graduate level). This provides valuable data for our advocacy and legal efforts.

If you are a student, parent, teacher, or administrator who uses screen access software or other accommodations to participate nonvisually in educational programs or services, or if you are the parent, teacher, or administrator of someone who does, please complete this survey and contribute to our important research.
