Parents' Perceptions of Eye-Gaze Technology Use by Children With Complex Communication Needs

CONCLUSIONS: Computer-based AAC for school-aged children who trialed it when they were in preschool appears to be a powerful means for them to communicate and participate. However, the technology appears not to be used to its full capabilities to support the children's agency to control environments and to pursue leisure. Teams may want to consider how to support children in using their AAC devices to meet multiple needs. The study was limited by its small sample size and its descriptive nature. Additional research on this subject is needed.PMID:38319681 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00100
