Eye-gaze control for children with cerebral palsy: Contribution of functional vision skills

Tom Griffiths; Michael T. Clarke; John Swettenham

Abstract

Limited research exists on the early skills that impact on children’s learning to use eye-gaze technology. This paper will examine the impact of functional vision skills on children’s performance with a novel eye-gaze task. The results, obtained using a freely available measure designed for non-vision specialists, suggest that good functional gaze control skills were related to better performance. Implications for clinical practice will be discussed.
