Questionnaire on User Needs

An essential part of this project is to actively involve people with disabilities and those who support them in order to bring about improvements with this exciting new technology. By responding to this questionnaire, you will be playing a significant part in ensuring that the aims of the project remain closely linked to what people with disabilities actually need, rather than what others might think they need.
