Hailey Johnson, a PhD student with the UW–Madison People & Robots Laboratory, is recruiting adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) for a paid study on robot occupational tools. She is out to ask if In Control WI would be willing to share this opportunity with the individuals and families they work with.
