This $415,717 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The objective of this 2-year project is to develop and test eye-gaze paradigms to better characterize receptive language and learning potential in children with cerebral palsy who have severe speech and motor impairments. The research aims to 1) measure lexical processing, 2) investigate novel word learning, and 3) relate these eye-gaze based assessments to traditional language and cognitive evaluations in this population. This work seeks to advance tools for measuring latent language and cognitive skills in children with cerebral palsy and severe speech/motor deficits, which could lead to more accurate understanding of their language development and more precise augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions.
