| Abstract: | Interventions focused on job search skills and employment preparation for transition-age youth with visual impairments include content on interviewing but limited opportunities to practice via role-playing or mock interviews. Virtual interviewing simulations are cost-effective and can be implemented in various settings, allowing transition-age youth with visual impairments to practice job interview training. Our goal was to evaluate the usability of a virtual interview training simulation and identify ways to improve accessibility and user experiences for transition-age youth with visual impairments. Ten transition-age youth aged 17 to 25 participated in remote moderated usability sessions. Researchers evaluated usability with the System Usability Scale, open-ended questions about the participant's experience, task success rates, and task completion times. Our findings show that participants rated the virtual interview training's usability highly and were satisfied with the product overall. Findings also provide insight into conducting remote moderated usability studies with people with visual impairments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
