Abstract
This study presents a computerized assessment tool which provides multiple parameters for evaluating a subject’s pointing and selecting proficiency. The Mi-CAT system could provide effect parameters, quality parameters, and visual information that serve as the multiple indicators for clinical professionals to decide whether a pointing device or a setting is proper for a client. Besides introducing the Mi-CAT system, this study also explore the effectiveness of applying Mi-CAT in identifying a proper pointing device for a 7-year-old girl. The results reported that the multiple indicators generated from Mi-CAT system would pinpoint a better device or setting for this girl.
