Inclusive education and ICT: Eye-tracking systems for students with cerebral palsy in primary education

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are an essential tool for achieving inclusive education. We present a research that studies one of the two cases in Spain of a 1st grade primary school student with cerebral palsy with spasticity, who only has ocular muscle control. Alternatives have been sought to access the curriculum on an equal opportunity basis, using eye-tracking devices, augmentative communication systems, and ICT. The results advance the adequate inclusion process that demonstrates presence, participation and learning among equals. In addition, good results in learning qualifications are guaranteed. To access the curriculum, only access adaptations have been made, not significant adaptations.
