Technology and IEPS - Eye gaze


In the previous post we explored the basis for determining the need for assistive technology in an IEP.  In the following 5 posts, you will see some examples of types of technology that is available in order to meet these goals.

Annual Goal: Sarah will interact with others in the school environment in four out of five opportunities to indicate her preferences and needs using voice output devices and eye gaze strategies.



Because Sarah is unable to speak, the use of assistive equipment will utilize her strengths and help her to be more successful in the academic setting.  Her IEP goals state that she can choose which device or strategy that will allow her to interact in school environment. The voice output system along with eye gaze technology will enable her to communicate with her teachers and peers as well as be independent. Continued use will permit her to reach her IEP goals.
