Eyegaze 101 AAC Clinic Training by James Brinton, M.A., CCC-SLP 

This page is frequently updated, so please check back frequently. 

Here is the planned focus of the proposed Eyegaze training early December. James is open to address other eye gaze topics. Conducted by James Brinton.  This is your training session, so please send any questions you have to me for James to answer; and feel free to invite anyone in your larger team.  

Here are some topics I might cover with a therapy team in an in-service. If it is 1 hour, I start with a brief discussion of what challenges the team sees with clients (and themselves) when using eye gaze. Then I address those challenges. Among the topics might be:

• Eyegaze 101
  
• What therapists need to know to troubleshoot during assessment
• How to work with less-than-perfect eyes
• Atypical eye conditions that impact eye gaze
• How to perform an evidence-based assessment
• The patient-centered approach to teaching and AAC support to lessen the chances of AAC abandonment
• How to teach individuals/families on learning a new device
• New features of the Eyegaze Edge: Eyeworld updates, Medical communication pages, the New Encore Camera
  

Let me know if you'd like me to reach out and discuss how we might spend our time together. It will be well worth it!

CLARIFICATION REQUEST:

We have time to confirm 1) dates; 2) amount of training and questions and hopefully use the Eyegaze; 3) how much time to allocate for each clinic.

Please contact me for any changes.  Thanks.  terry@specialneedscomputers.ca.
