The ‘Engaging in Eye Gaze: Collaborating and Consulting with Schools’ and ‘Access all Learning Areas’ projects were funded by the Non Government Centre Support for Non-School Organisations (NGCS) of Western Australia.  These projects built on the previous work and resources from the NGCS funded Unlocking Abilities project.  A video series and additional information sheets have been produced to support successful use of eye gaze technology and use in the classroom.

If you would like further information on the support Indigo can provide for individuals or schools, please contact one of our friendly team members on (08) 9381 0600 or email help@indigosolutions.org.au

Considerations for Choosing an Eye Gaze System

With a range of different eye gaze technology options on the market it can be difficult to know which options to choose. Each system contains its own features and benefits which means no one system will be the best choice for everyone. When selecting an eye gaze system for an individual, or for a number of students to use in a school, it’s important to consider the features that are needed and then compare systems based on these needs.

Eye Gaze and Environmental Control

While we might often consider eye gaze devices to be used for communication, recreation and leisure tasks, they can also be used to control the environment around the user. These handouts provide information on what aspects of an eye gaze user's environment can be controlled with their device, and how to do this using power sockets, infrared connectivity, and Smart Assistants (e.g. Siri, Alexa).
