This Office for Veterans Affairs funded research project wants to find out from you about your everyday living experiences with assistive technologies. In particular, we want to understand the effectiveness of different assistive technologies used by veterans who are wheelchair/EVP-users.

What will taking part involved? You are invited to complete 2 activities, you can choose either activity or both;
