Intensive Eye Gaze Training for AAC Access: A Case Study

Abstract

This was a case study investigating intensive eye gaze intervention for accessing an augmentative and alternative communication device. The participant was an individual with cortical visual impairment and other comorbid disorders who had no formal means of communication. The intervention consisted of two phases, the first phase focused on eye gaze intervention programs/training and the second focused on the use of communication software. The participant developed sufficient eye gaze skills to access an eye gaze device for communication.
