Popis: Objective: Individuals with profound intellectual and physical disabilities (PIPD) often cannot speak for themselves and do things for themselves. Their level of cognitive abilities is unclear. Eye gaze technology has the potential to gain access to cognitive processes and eventually enable communication among these individuals. Method: Six individuals with PIPD were given multiple sessions of eye gaze training (9-36 sessions) between February 17 to October 18. They used a screen eye-tracker (Tobii pc eye-mini) to control the objects/icons on the screen. An eye-gaze training program with different levels of activities was used to teach cause and effect, give appropriate response, explore the whole screen, target specific objects, choosing objects AND turn taking.
