We will investigate patients' objective evaluation of the introduction of the communication tool by practicing the communication tool five times with ALS patients who are able to communicate, and observing their psychological changes and text input speed over time.
Regarding character input practice, based on previous research by Aoki et al., which showed that students can improve by practicing around 600 characters (Aoki, 2005), we decided to practice 200 characters at a time five times. Examine each practice session to monitor progress and psychological changes.

Phase II
Subjective QOL evaluation (ALSAQ-40) of ALS patients will be conducted after character input training.Conducted every time after the completion of training, which is held once a month.
Subjective evaluation(VAS) of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment using gaze input device.

| Device,equipment |
1) Guide to the room where the training program will be conducted 2) Sit in front of a computer equipped with a gaze input device 3) Keep the distance between the patient's eyes and the computer screen 45 to 90 cm 4) Set up the equipment as follows: Carry out calibration by following the moving dots on the screen with your eyes. 5) Launch the document creation software and display the virtual keyboard on the screen. 6) Enter characters using the virtual keyboard. The subject of eye input training is Andersen's A total of 200 characters of excerpts from fairy tales will be used. Training time will end as soon as 200 characters have been entered, but the maximum training time will be 60 minutes.
