Preparing the Significantly Challenged Child for Eye Gaze

Wow!  A great crowd here so late in the day for our session on eye gaze control at the ATIA 2016 Conference.  The sun did come out in Orlando after all, yet the room was filled with superachievers who wanted to know how to help their kids with significant needs.  Unfortunately, the handout link provided by the organizers was incorrect, so I am posting the resources here for those looking for them. Thanks to all who attended and please contact me with any questions you may have! Although my session Powerpoint titled "Preparing the Significantly Challenged Students for Eye Gaze" is posted here, it does not contain all of the video material shown at the conference (per parental request).  Also posted here is my Considerations Checklist for Eye Gaze Participation.  This form will provide guidance and help gather details and data on student preferences, responses, and needs when introducing or using eye gaze activities.
