@outerpress - Just checking in to see if you happen to have specific dates and times for your research sessions? We are looking at availability for the timespan you mention in the ticket, and we want to make sure we can participate, as it nears. (We = @SarahKay8 @coforma-terry and myself).
We'll be running 6-12 sessions, and would like to have the screenreader support person join them all. We tentatively plan to run sessions between March 28th and April 4th, but we may push these dates forward by a week or more.
March 28 - April 4 accessibility availability:
Thank you so much in advance!

@Cieramaddox fyi
@sara-amanda my apologies I typoed - we'll be running sessions through April 14th. Could you update your availability for those dates?
@outerpress so your timespan is 3/28 - 4/14, to confirm, correct?
Yes, that's right @sara-amanda
Sounds good @outerpress - thank you for confirming! I am amending our original response based on the expanded research window.

Hey @outerpress - Just wanted to check real quick if you had any times penned for these sessions yet? Thanks :) CC @sara-amanda @SarahKay8
@coforma-terry not yet, but Perigean has started the recruiting process so we should have some sessions scheduled soon! @Cieramaddox and I will keep you updated.
@coforma-terry Perigean's scheduled our first session for tomorrow at 12pm ET but it looks like y'all aren't available that day. They're working on the rest, so more updates soon :)
@sara-amanda @SarahKay8
@outerpress - both @sara-amanda and @SarahKay8 don't have a free slot for tomorrow, however, @joshkimux may be able to - could you send him an invite ? Thanks!
@outerpress - @joshkimux is maxed out as well - :(
Thanks for following up @coforma-terry ! We'll do our best and let you after the session if we ran into issues
@sara-amanda @SarahKay8 we have sessions scheduled! I'm assuming your calendars may have changed so please let me know which of these either of you can attend (if any) along with your email address so I can add you to the session. Many thanks!

FYI @coforma-terry @Cieramaddox
@outerpress - I can be available for the following sessions. The two with the asterisks* I have a few meetings that overlap the ends of each session, but it should be ok. Just let me know which ones I should add to my calendar until the invites arrive. Thanks so much!
@coforma-terry @RLHecht @SarahKay8
Thank you @sara-amanda! I found your Oddball address in Slack and added you to those studies 👍
Thank you @outerpress I accepted those invites. @coforma-terry I updated the capacity calendar as well.
@outerpress I can cover P3-P5 and P10 😄 Small note here-- I know y'all usually have a spreadsheet to track participants. A11y folk can add on an extra tab to that spreadsheet for a11y specific concerns and issues. If y'all are able to share that with me, I can get that stood up.
Thanks @joshkimux ! I'll get you added to those in a sec
@outerpress Good morning! I'm available for these:
P7 Thursday, April 6 1:00pm – 2:30pm P8 Thursday, April 6 3:30pm – 5:00pm P10 Thursday, April 13 1:00pm – 2:30pm
@SarahKay8 it looks like we have coverage for those sessions - would you like me to add you anyway as backup? Either way is fine with me :)
Yep please do! @outerpress the more the merrier
Alrighty @SarahKay8 I sent ya the party invites 🎉 We're fully covered for the rest of the sessions, thanks all!
@outerpress I've put together a spreadsheet for accessibility notes. If possible, I recommend including an a11y specialist in your analysis process too. That might mean setting up additional time to meet with and review this spreadsheet with a specialist ❤️
This is great, thanks @joshkimux ! I'll put some time on the calendar to review this once the sessions are close to wrapping.
Will y'all want access to the recordings as well?
@outerpress Yes, please!
We discussed this briefly, but just to confirm can y'all (@sara-amanda @SarahKay8 and @joshkimux) use Keybase to access recordings?
@outerpress heads up that I got a conflict for the P10 session I signed up (medical appointment)! It looks like SK will be on that one, so we should be good to go.
Ignore this! It got cancelled. Will be able to make the P10 session.
We asked Perigean to schedule 3 more participants to try to reach a total of 5 screenreader sessions.
If anyone is available for the following dates, let me know and I'll add you to the invite:
Thank you!
Tuesday participant was confirmed not to be a screenreader user, so canceled. So two still TBD.
Alrighty, we have two scheduled, still waiting on the third. Let me know if one of you can attend and I'll add ya to the invite @sara-amanda @SarahKay8 @joshkimux
Both are scheduled for Thursday, April 20 (tomorrow)
Thanks!
I believe this ticket is good to close but please reopen if still needed.
What does your team need support for? Check all that apply.
[x] Something else
Give a brief description of what your team needs support with.
VAOS will be running usability sessions with screenreader users. We'll be testing our appointment list updates with Veterans on staging.
We need support during those sessions to help troubleshoot technical issues that users run into. We'll be aiming to recruit both experienced and new screenreader users.
We'll be running 6-12 sessions, and would like to have the screenreader support person join them all. We tentatively plan to run sessions between March 28th and April 4th, but we may push these dates forward by a week or more.

When do you expect to launch your product to 100% of users?
Please provide an estimated date so our team can create other relevant tickets.
TBD
Supporting artifacts
Please provide supporting artifacts as available.
Will this work be going through the Collaboration Cycle?
We will have completed the staging review by the time this research starts.
When does this work need to be done?
Do you plan to bring this to an upcoming content office hours session?
The design and content has already been reviewed.
Note: If we think this work would benefit from a collaborative session with you, we may ask you to bring it to office hours or set up a separate time to meet.
