https://aacinstitute.org/aac-access-conference-eye-gaze-bci-and-switches/ The 3rd Annual AAC Access Conference: Eye Gaze, BCI, and Switches, will be held at the Crowne Plaza Pittsburgh South in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This premier 2-day event will offer evidence based practice principles for alternative access, as well as an “EYES ON” opportunity to try the latest eye gaze and brain computer interface (BCI) technologies. Topics will include Evidence Based Overview of Principles and Practices for AAC Access from Dr. Katya Hill, PhD, CCC-SLP, Associate Professor, University of Pittsburgh and the AAC Institute Executive Director. Also attendees will have the opportunity learn about AAC Device Funding: Tips for Eye Gaze Access, and the current state of BCI research from Jane Huggins, PhD. Likewise, 4 concurrent sessions will provide attendees therapeutic techniques directly from the representatives of major AAC manufacturers who offer eye gaze access. Representatives will identify, describe, and demonstrate features available on their AAC devices or computers that support eye-gaze access. Available company resources and technical support will also be discussed. New this year will be the inclusion of an exhibit hall for attendees to enjoy and learn about various products or services related to the AAC field. For any questions related to the AAC Access Conference, please contact Michael O’Leary at moleary@aacinstitute.org or call 412-402-0900. We look forward to seeing you!

She doesn't come to me to let me know what she wants, but it's easy for me to figure out, because she tries to do things for herself. She knows what she wants, and her behavior shows me what she wants. If she runs out of something to eat, she will just try to get more, rather than trying to get me to give her more.
