the following topics:
* Redbox
* We are seeking members who have tried to use or would like
to use Redbox video and video game rental kiosks.
* Social Security Kiosks and Forms
* We are gathering information regarding inaccessible field
office kiosks or online forms.
* Online Banking
* We are gathering information pertaining to the
accessibility of online-only banks.
* Electronic Health Records
* We are seeking information from employees and students
required to use electronic health record systems on the job or for
school purposes.
* Employment
* We are seeking information from anyone who has attempted to
fill out an online job application or take an online employment test
with screen-access software.
* Common Core State Standard Assessments
* We are seeking information regarding K-12 students who
completed a 2015 PARCC or Smarter Balanced assessment or will be
taking a 2016 PARCC or Smarter Balanced assessment.
* Technology in Higher Education
* We are gathering information regarding inaccessible
technology and discriminatory practices and feedback on the
accessibility of student loan documents.
