Tom Griffiths
Tom is a Lecturer in Assistive Technology with a clinical and research background in AAC and alternative access. He has worked for most of his career in the NHS, supporting the selection and provision of AAC and computer access technology for nonspeaking children and adults with a range of disabilities. His research interest in eye-gaze technology developed in this setting and his work seeks to empower both users of technology and those who work to support them through addressing the knowledge gap around how the causal relationships needed to understand and use this technology are acquired by new users. Combining his research and clinical work, Tom has explored the contribution of childrenโs functional vision skills to the outcomes of their eye-gaze use: designing and carrying out experimental work to test this and highlight that it may be a key determiner in likely progress with this complex technology.
