Tobii Dynavox (Illinois)

We are a team of enthusiasts who are passionate about helping people with special needs. Our goal is to make a real difference by creating solutions that help people communicate with their environment, thereby living a richer and more independent life. Our solutions do not only benefit users, but also the people around them – parents, siblings, grandparents and caregivers as well as others encountered in everyday life. Our custom-designed solutions are easy to use and built to stand up to the rigors of daily life. Although our products are technically complex, especially our eye-controlled computers, we place a lot of energy on ensuring that they are easy to use – for the user as well as family and caregivers. We do not make "simple apps”. From experience, we know that they often lead to users being static in their communication. Unlike other providers, we offer communication solutions that every individual can grow and develop with throughout their life. Whether you need a speech generating device, computer control or solutions for special education, we strive to develop products that really work and are actually used.
