Dear Consumers, 

 

Listed below is a link to an on-line survey which is part of a statewide
effort to help us better identify needs of people with disabilities for
the upcoming Statewide Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) in New York
for 2014-2016.  This plan could result in targeted projects in your area
focusing on the priority needs of people with disabilities.  It is being
sponsored by the New York State Independent Living Council (NYSILC) and
conducted by Krieger Solutions, LLC a private consulting firm.  We
appreciate your candid and thoughtful input. Please be assured that all
survey responses will be treated confidentially and that results will
only be reported in the aggregate. No individual responses will be
reported or in any way identified. 

 

The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete.  To thank you
for your assistance with this, after completing the survey you will have
an opportunity to enter a drawing for a $50 Mobil gift card.  Two
winners will be randomly chosen.

 

Click on the following link to participate in the survey:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NYSILCsurvey

 

You will be directed to an initial screen informing you about your
opportunity to enter in the gift card drawing at the completion of the
survey. Click the "next" button to proceed. You will have fourteen
questions that you can respond to by either click the appropriate number
of choices or choice, entering text in a dialogue box, or selecting a
choice from a drop down menu. For the last question (gift card drawing)
which is optional, you can click on the "done" button to complete the
survey. It will redirect you to a screen that will give you a choice to
enter a sweepstakes or refuse the opportunity (no thanks). Click on the
sweepstakes button and provide the necessary information to enter. If
you are not interested, click the "no thanks" button to decline. If you
are completing the survey from an ILC computer, then you would fill in
the appropriate boxes in question # 15 to enter the drawing then click
on the "done" button to complete the survey.

 

If you have any questions about the survey or any difficulty accessing
the survey, please contact: Patty Black at NYSILC patty at nysilc.org or
call 877 397-4126 (Toll free in NY State only) or (518) 427-1060
(Voice/TDD).

 

In addition, Survey Monkey has been tested with screen readers. Most
colleagues have reported that they have been able to navigate and make
choices with their screen reader. However, some have had some
difficulty. We have attached a Word version of the survey for anyone,
including colleagues who use screen readers, to complete and return to
the NYSILC office. It includes instructions in the survey for how to
complete and return and provide information if the individual wants to
enter the gift card drawing. Completed Word surveys will be entered
electronically into the Survey Monkey system by staff so they can be
included in the collective results.

 

If you do not have Internet access, your local Independent Living Center
may have the survey available on a computer at the Center. To be entered
in the drawing, you must complete the survey no later than July 12th.
Please complete it as soon as possible.

 

Thanks again for your assistance.
