Towards More Accurate Help: Informing Teachers how to Support NDD Children by Serious Games and Eye Tracking Technologies

Abstract

The vision behind this research is to develop a platform that supports children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in handling their difficulties. This will be done by informing their teachers about each child's NDD specificity, personal ability, and learning progress through standardized tasks that allow tailoring the tasks to personalized requirements. The aim of this work in progress is to 1) examine the role of using eye tracking (ET) technologies to inform teachers to support NDD children through a platform, 2) provide an example for using ET data, and 3) show how ET data can be combined with Serious Games (SG) output in a pipeline. The results show the necessary requirements for the experimental setup with a focus on informing the teachers, the influence of inherent limitations of the participant pool, and illustrate how the ET and SG results can be used to communicate status for sustained attention.
