Children with CP often rely hugely on their looking skills to learn, communicate and interact with others. Observing these children's eye gaze behaviour can be a useful way to assess their understanding of language, learning and participation in activities.

Understanding these
children's gaze behaviour can support clinicians and families to develop shared
expectations of a child's behaviour at present whilst developing a tailored
intervention to support their skills development and communication.
Staff from the RAT group
have been involved in a project to develop assessment procedures to help better
understand childrens’ gaze behvaiour and in evaluating the ability of eye gaze
technology to support this assessment.
The assessment
procedures are freely available to clinicians and families from the project
team. You simply need to notify the Functional Gaze Control
team to register your
interest in and/or use of these assessment procedures.
The project
website (UCL) details the project and assessment
procedures.
This work is being presented at the international
conference on Augmentative Communication (AAC) as described in this Barnsley AT Team blog post.
