Hello everyone,

I am a Student from Germany, studying Graphic Design. For my Bachelors Degree, I'm conducting a survey on how people with disabilities perceive and handle everyday packaging.
The survey is intended for people with physical disabilities, but if you don't fit into that category, you are invited to share your opinion on the topic either in the comments or in the final question box of the survey.
It takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to fill out the survey.

Here is the Link to the survey:
https://forms.gle/pdvgRvapgrhPRDk47

I study at DIPLOMA University of Applied Sciences in the design and media department.

My supervisor is Karina Michaelis, she is a research assistant and the department manager for the design and media department.

Hello everyone, I'm a student from Germany. I have to do a school project, so I choose to do a survey about how disabled people can use, use or want to use voice assistant.

https://www.umfrageonline.com/c/cgesjked

So if you have a disability of any kind, please take some time for it to answer it. There are only 10 questions, so it won't take too long. It would really help me with the project, and please recommend it to others.

Hello everyone I am an engineering student and for my final project me and my team have chosen to design a tool that will make it easier for anyone with upper extremity mobility issues to put on their earrings independently. While we personally know and are communicating with some people who struggle with this, we are trying to be as thorough as possible and get input from many potential users of this design.

If you are interested in sharing insights into how you put on earrings, what difficulties you face, any designs or products that have been helpful to you, or any other information you feel me and my team should know, please DM me or reply to this post. I am happy to send you information about our professor, our program, and our preliminary designs if you are interested. Thank you all so much

Hello! We are Master’s students from Student University working on a project in the area of gaming accessibility for members of the blind and low-vision community, and we’d love to hear from you! 

The study consists of two parts – a short survey to gather background information and ensure participants meet our criteria, and a one-hour session where we will ask questions and present a task based on your gaming experience. If you are an experienced gamer, we’ll ask you to share your screen while playing a game you’ve recently played. If you are less experienced, we’ll ask you to explore a game you’re interested in. 

As a thank-you for your time, participants who complete both parts of the study will receive a small gratuity (likely an Amazon gift card). Your insights are incredibly valuable in helping improve gaming accessibility, and we appreciate your participation!

If you're interested, please fill out the sign-up form. Feel free to reach out via email (elliejvela "at" stanford "dot" edu) or via reddit DM with any questions! Feel free to check out Ellie's Stanford Profiles page here: https://profiles.stanford.edu/elliejvela?releaseVersion=10.9.0

Looking forward to hearing from you! ❤️

About the survey: This survey is a project I have been working on to benefit activism and advocacy for our community. The goal of this survey is to better understand the experiences and needs of mute (or nonspeaking, etc.) people. I believe that obtaining numerical statistics about our experiences will be helpful for spreading awareness. My intention is to run this survey annually to track changing issues, with each year's survey being improved based on the outcomes of previous surveys.

I'm a second year Mechanical Engineering student who has mobility issues. One of my biggest frustrations is traveling to and from school or work with my mobility scooter. I believe this is a large inhibitor of my independence. Through this form, I hope to gain some insight in regards to the following:

How can scooters and wheelchairs be improved to make them more portable independently? How can we make travel easier? Can we design better wheelchair and scooter lifts?  

We all deserve complete independence. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and hopefully I can use this information to build a better future for disabled individuals.

 Note: This survey is not intended for people who utilize public transportation.

🌟 Are you unique? I need you. 🌟

Have you ever struggled with an app or a website that made you feel frustrated, misunderstood, or even insulted because of your “difference”? I prefer to call it your uniqueness. 💎

Maybe you’ve felt excluded, misrepresented, or downright triggered by an interface or a feature that seemed to scream: “You don’t belong here.”

I have. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with multiple mental health disorders, and I experienced both digital and real-world exclusion. Due to a lack of understanding and awareness, I lost my job in September 2023. I was a passionate UX/UI designer, but my life fell apart. The craft that used to light me up became something I could no longer do.

Today, I want to turn my pain into strength. My mission? To use design as a force for change, placing inclusivity and accessibility at the heart of digital experiences. Because, let’s face it, these values still don’t get the attention they deserve.

👉 Here’s a simple but powerful truth: Ability (functional capacity) + Barrier (created by the product) = Disability (conflict between ability and barrier) And these barriers? They’re everywhere: • An unreadable color contrast. • A button too small to click. • A tone of voice that excludes or alienates.

They can affect anyone at any time: ✦ Mental or physical challenges (permanent, temporary, or situational). ✦ Gender, age, environment. ✦ Economic status, origin, language. ✦ Education, spirituality, and so much more.

🌍 The impact is real. • A website can remind someone they don’t “fit” into a normative society. • An app can reinforce a sense of exclusion. • A bad experience can make someone lose confidence or, worse, feel deeply hurt.

What about you? What’s your story? I’m looking for experiences from people who, like me, have faced digital friction. If you’ve encountered a barrier, share it with me. Together, we can identify these pain points and design solutions that are inclusive and meaningful.

📩 Reach out privately or share your thoughts here. Because every voice matters, and together, we can redesign the digital world to make it for everyone. 💡

Hello, caregivers of Reddit!

I’m conducting a survey to explore the emotional, physical, and mental toll that caregiving for a child with a chronic illness can have on parents and guardians. Your experiences are invaluable in helping to shed light on the challenges caregivers face and finding ways to provide better support for families like yours.

The survey is completely anonymous and will only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you can skip any questions or stop at any time.

We’ll use the insights shared to raise awareness about the unseen struggles of caregiving and advocate for meaningful resources that make a difference. Your input can help others who feel isolated in their journey find the support they need.

 https://forms.gle/a49yZbHbLjweDPFp9

If you’re interested, I’d love to hear what you think of the questions or if there’s anything you’d suggest adding. Your perspective matters so much!

Thank you in advance for your time and for everything you do as a caregiver. Your strength and dedication are truly inspiring.

Warm regards,Jerardo Gonzales

I made this post a few months ago with basically the same information, but I wanted to bring attention back since I'm hoping to make a second volume. All of the info (including the link) can be found in the original post and you can read the first volume here if you're interested in seeing what it looks like.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the first wave of surveys:)

Hey guys, I am currently working on developing an app with a group of friends that seeks to create a platform allowing disabled individuals to completely immerse themselves within the experience of going to a new establishment before actually going to identify accessibility accomodations. I figured asking the community directly about your experiences would prove valuable. If it's not a hassle, please fill out this quick 2-min survey to help us understand what our app should be more geared towards: https://forms.gle/hE6FD5FvwQwqDEiUA

Hi everyone!

I’m a biomedical engineering undergrad student currently working on a design project to improve prosthetic sockets for leg amputees. Our goal is to better understand your experiences with current socket designs so we can address issues and create solutions that truly meet your needs.

I’d love to hear from you about:

• What you like about your current socket(s)
• What you don’t like or find uncomfortable/inconvenient
• Any specific challenges you face with fit, comfort, durability, or daily use
• Do you experience chafing while using your prosthetic socket? If so, how does it affect your daily activities or willingness to wear it?
• Have you ever experienced skin irritation, rashes, or discomfort from prolonged use of your socket?
• Features or improvements you wish existed
• Are there any activities or environments where your socket doesn’t perform well?
• Any advice or insights you think would help us design a better socket

Your experiences and feedback are really important to my team and I, and they’ll directly shape the direction of our project. We want to ensure that whatever we design considers the practical and emotional aspects of using a prosthetic.

Feel free to share as much or as little as you’d like in the comments or via DM. Every and any perspective helps, and we truly appreciate your time and insight.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!!

Also, if this post isn’t appropriate for this subreddit, please let me know or direct me to a better place to share.

Hello lovely people!

Hopefully this fits within the sub reddit I (audhd 21) am currently working on making a fully accessible once a month class at a sewing business I help out at. My sister is a higher support needs person who's been hit by a glass ceiling of what's available in our city and I wanna change that. I'm wanting to be able to make a fun group for socializing but also to help maybe give people new skills but at a level that anyone could manage. Any ideas of any kinds of crafts/ sewing is welcome and needed since I want to be able to run this for a s long as possible.

Tyia:))))

• Receive a thank-you gift as compensation for their time. We’re looking for individuals who are open to sharing their experiences.

Whether you use assistive technologies or have unique accessibility needs, we want to hear from you. Sign up today to help create a more inclusive world. Together, we can make a difference!

Fill the screener for the survey in Respondent here.

PS: For the sake of transparency this is a referral link so I will receive a bonus on my own account for each of the first people who use it and complete the study. (you can do the same with your friends!)

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

EDIT about uploading a profile picture, according to the official website guide:

• If you are having issues uploading your photo (i.e. long loading time or not populating after save, please ensure that there are no spaces within the photo name). For example, "Image_1.jpg" is good while "Image 1.jpg" is not.

• Make sure the image is small (under 5MB, but to be save try under 4MB)

• Also, a reddit thread I found suggests to complete the sign up on a laptop/desktop instead of on a phone.

EDIT 2: I had to edit something else in the post but feel free to contact if you had already signed up and have questions about it.

EDIT 3: I have learned that not all disabilities are elligible since a friend with a disability was not elligible for the test and was screened out. I do know another friend with a different disability was not screened out (but there hasn't been a contact yet). Just letting you know in case you are unsure of whether to proceed.

Also, I've only ever completed a study on respondent and didn't have any trouble with payments but that is all I know personally.

This research is meant to help children with chronic pain be less at risk for mental illness in relation to their chronic pain. If you or anyone you know fits within the population of interest your answers are much appreciated
