A SYSTEM developed by a Delph firm which allows children with severe learning difficulties to use a computer with their eyes has scooped another award.

Inclusive Technology’s EyeGaze won the special education equipment/resource title at the Education Resources Awards. EyeGaze allows a person to control a mouse cursor with eye movement, making selections by blinking.

The judges, who included teachers, concluded: “We all agreed EyeGaze is a great combination of hardware and classroom resources which will help to enhance the everyday lives of pupils using them.”

Now in their 18th year, the awards are organised by the British Educational Suppliers Association, which represents more than 300 educational suppliers.
