A software based on eye gaze to evaluate mathematics in children with cerebral palsy in inclusive education

Abstract:

The government of Ecuador has promoted inclusive education in public and private education centers, ensuring that all children can access education and not be discriminated by their disability. Teachers are responsible for planning, support and reorganized the curriculum according to the needs of each child included. The inclusion process for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and speech difficulties have been a little difficult because they cannot communicate properly with the teachers and the evaluation process is not clear and objective. In this paper, through the use of eye tracking technology provide by Irisbond, we present an educational software to evaluate mathematics in children with CP. The software performs the questions in written and audible way, and it allows the students to select and/or match the correct answer; children with CP from 5 to 7 years tested the program and they got a better rating than not using it.
