Current and Upcoming Studies

CNC Machine Research Study
Atlanta-area study participants who are paraplegic with full hand function are needed to provide input on the design of a CNC (computer numerically controlled) workstation. Participants will test a non-operational model of a CNC machine and also provide input on new design ideas.

Retail Checkstand Research Study
Atlanta-area study participants, particularly those with grocery cashier experience, are needed to provide input on the design of grocery checkstands. Participants will test a non-operational model of a CNC machine and also provide input on new design ideas. If you would like further details once recruitment begins in late April, email Camillo Vargas at vargascamilo@gatech.edu.

Development of a Webcourse on Workplace Accommodations
Vocational rehabilitation counselors and others who provide workplace accommodations are invited to participate in an online focus group to discuss training needs. If you would like further details once recruitment begins in May, email contact Robert Todd at robert.todd@coa.gatech.edu.
