A new study from an interdisciplinary team of researchers, led by Jessica Caron, associate professor of communication sciences and disorders at Penn State, examined the effectiveness of adapted literacy instruction for a child with cerebral palsy who uses a high-tech eye-gaze augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device to communicate. Their findings suggest that people with movement and language difficulties may be able to learn far more literacy skills than previously thought.
