Description

Like all Americans, individuals with developmental disabilities have the right to vote. However, little is known about the training these individuals receive on voting technology. The present study uses field pretesting to pilot a survey that measures the effectiveness of a training session on the eSlate, an assistive voting technology device that serves as an accessible alternative to traditional ballots. Implications for future research and application will be discussed.
