Caption: [Kristin: Using Eyegaze to Communicate]

Narrator: “Since a very young age, Kristin has used eye movements to signal letters of the alphabet. She uses this system with highly familiar communication partners, supplementing her high-tech voice output communication device. Kristin is a Research Associate for Post-ITT, an organization that helps students with disabilities transition to higher education. In this video, Kristin is preparing for her presentation at a Post-ITT meeting. She gives an assistant instructions using eye code.”

Kristin calls her assistant to her side and then communicates to him using eye code. Her eyes are moving a variety of directions.

Narrator: “The unfamiliar viewer will see this as a series of rapid eye movements.”
