The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is collaborating with the
\nNational Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers (NIEC) on this
\nproject, and we encourage members and interested persons to help by
\ntaking the survey.<\/p>\n

VRI is a fee-based (not free) interpreting service. VRI service may
\nbe used when the deaf person and hearing person are in the same room
\ntogether and the interpreter is at a different location.<\/p>\n

The National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers (NIEC) wants
\nto identify common needs, issues and practices of the VRI industry.<\/p>\n

This email is to ask Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf-Blind people to
\nparticipate in an on-line survey (see the link provided below). The
\nsurvey online will take about 20 minutes to complete. The survey ends
\non June 30, 2009.<\/p>\n

The survey will ask you about your experiences using VRI. Your
\nresponses will be confidential and only available to the NIEC research
\nteam.<\/p>\n

It is your decision to participate in this research project. You do
\nnot have to participate. If you want to participate, you can skip any
\nquestion, or stop the survey at any time.<\/p>\n

About the NAD<\/p>\n

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by
\ndeaf leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community
\nto use sign language, to congregate on issues important to them, and
\nto have its interests represented at the national level. These beliefs
\nremain true to this day, with American Sign Language as a core value.
\nAs a nonprofit federation, the mission of the NAD is to preserve,
\nprotect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf
\nand hard of hearing Americans. The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad, covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations in the areas of early intervention, education, employment, health care, technology, telecommunications, youth leadership, and more.
