UDL and Eye Gaze

Eye Gaze Technology would be considered an essential part of a student’s environment because without it, a student could not access his learning environment at all.

The teacher must implement UDL within the classroom to allow a student with Eye Gaze Technology to effectively retrieve information within the classroom.

There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the

difficulties or you alter the way you meet them.
