When these individuals have complex bodies in addition to complex communication needs, finding a means of accessing these AAC systems can feel daunting.

An overview of settings to support successful access in addition to a systematic approach to teaching the use of eye gaze skills will be covered.

Objectives: 

Following this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe appropriate positioning for eye gaze access
• Identify 3 settings to support eye gaze access
• Identify stages of learning eye gaze access and implementation activities for each stage
