Summary: Eye-gaze assistive technology enables children and youths with severe physical disabilities to access a computer through control of eye movements, thereby to perform a range of activities for play, communication, and school learning. This presentation will describe the research findings of the effects of eye-gaze assistive technology interventions for children and youths aged 3 to 22 years old with severe motor and communication difficulties and their communication partners, based on an international multi-center eye-gaze study and a Taiwanese intervention study. In addition, this presentation will address the advantages and challenges of implementing this technology intervention in everyday settings, drawing from a feasibility study to provide a reference for future research and clinical practice.
