Do you identify as neurodivergent? Have you tried Generative AI (GenAI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT)?

Researchers at the School of Information are inviting you to take part in a research study that seeks to understand and support neurodivergent (ND) faculty in their professional roles. While GenAI tools offer significant support to ND individuals by streamlining workflows and reducing cognitive load, little is known about how they affect ND faculty in their day-to-day work.

Your voices are important to understand the impact of GenAI tools as they rapidly get adopted into our workflows. Share your insights to help us advance these tools so they can better reflect, rather than redefine, your ways of working. The first phase of this study involves a survey that focuses on your experiences with GenAI tools.

❓ Who can participate?

  • You are a faculty member at University of Michigan.
  • You identify as neurodivergent. Neurodiversity describes the range of differences humans have with brain functioning. This term is commonly used to describe the experiences of people with Autism, ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Chronic illness (e.g., migraines or head injury), Aphasia, and others.
  • You have some familiarity with GenAI tools.

🎯 If interested:

  1. Complete a 15-20 minute online survey
  2. Receive a $50 gift card as an appreciation for your time. Your insights will inform future design and support practices at U-M!
  3. (Optional) Express interest in future phases via this form:
    • Interviews ($75 participation incentive)
    • Co-design sessions ($100 participation incentive)
