Abstract | Individuals with autism often exhibit atypical levels of attention to eyes. High support need and minimally verbal individuals with autism have typically received less attention in research. This study explored a preference based computer game to include the less-studied individuals with autism in their own school environment. Four high support need and minimally verbal children with autism played a familiar computer game where correct decisions were contingent on attending to the eyes of a virtual character. Case control analyses were used to compare individual's results to a control group. The analyses revealed that one child spent less time looking at the eyes than did the controls, and two children did not differ from the controls. There was no usable data for the fourth child. Our results suggest that high support need and minimally verbal children can be included in eye tracking research by using familiar positive environments. (As Provided). |
