Can a person with severe Cerebral Palsy really use an EyeMax?
A person with severe cerebral palsy that is able to maintain a relatively stable head position, either on their own or supported by a head rest, and who do not have significant eye control problems, can do quite well with an EyeMax System. However, “Over 40-75% of children with cerebral palsy have some form of a visual problem or impairment.” (Black, P.D., 1980). Direct field loss (not being able to see straight ahead, and only having peripheral vision) and severe oculomotor issues are the two visual impairments that are the most difficult to overcome for successful use of an eye gaze system.
