Tanis Doe, PhD
Tanis Doe is currently working on the project: Community Research for Assistive
Technology at the California Foundation for Independent Living Centers (CFILC)
This project increases the capacity of the independent living
community to collect research data on access and use of AT to improve the lives
of people with disabilities. Using a participatory research approach, the
California Foundation for Independent Living Centers plans to use an ecological
model to develop cumulative research data on the use of and access to AT by
people with disabilities. University researchers train participants in research
methods and assist with data collection and analysis. Community advocates
conduct focus groups, surveys, and action research in their respective regions.
Advocates also train university students in community-based research related to
AT and independent living.
