The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is conducting a study of adults with physical disabilities.  We want to know about your barriers to employment as well as resources that you need to support your work / career goals.  In addition, we are interested in knowing how you find information on employment services and supports. The target groups for the study are:

•    Adults with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or other physical disabilities; and
•    Young adults ages 18 to 65 with any type of physical disability.
•    You may be employed or unemployed.

To be eligible to participate, you must be a U.S. citizen and be able to provide legal consent.

Participants will complete an online survey requiring approximately 20 minutes. One hundred participants will be randomly selected to receive a $25 gift card.  However, there is no guarantee that everyone who completes the survey will be selected to receive the gift card. 

If you are interested in participating, the VCU-RRTC needs your consent.  You may do this by following the link below to read more about the study, review the survey questions, and give your consent.
