This AAC study day has been developed by Communication Matters in response to the large amount of recent interest in this area. The study day is an essential guide for any professional working in AAC or Assistive Technology with an interest in how eye gaze technology can be used to access communication and technology. The study day will explore this cutting edge topic, including the foundations of eye pointing for communication, an overview of the potential of eye control of technology by a leading expert, a chance to try the latest developments from suppliers, and an opportunity to hear about and share experiences in the use of eye gaze for interaction. The programme will include the following sessions: Eye Pointing for Communication - Katharine Buckley (ACE Centre) & Catherine Harris (Gloucestershire Adult SLT Services) Gaze Controlled Technology Tutorials - Mick Donegan (ACE Centre) Eye Gaze in Practice - Hannah Curry (PCAS, Bristol) & Liza Clements (parent) Eye Gaze Evaluation and Provision - Plenary Discussion, facilitated by Katie Price (Wolfson Neurodisability Unit) There will also be an exhibition of the leading eye-gaze technology available today. It is anticipated that this day will be very popular, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
