About Smartbox

As a market-leading creator of software and hardware that enables communication and independence, Smartbox are building a world where no one is left without a voice. Solutions include the company’s flagship Grid communication software, communication aids with environmental control technology, interactive learning tools that are increasingly used in education settings, and their bestselling eye gaze software package Look to Learn.

Smartbox’s groundbreaking AAC software, Grid, is the best in its class and provides support to more than 90,000 children and adults around the world each year.

AAC technology makes communication as quick, simple and effective as possible for users for whom speech difficulties can be a challenge. Smartbox technology exists to give people a voice and independence, so they can build meaningful connections and can achieve their ambitions.

It is estimated that more than 50 million people globally could benefit from augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Smartbox technology is provided in over 40 different languages, distributed over 175 countries, by more than 500 purpose-driven employees, and 42 worldwide partners.

As suppliers of assistive technology, Smartbox believe they have a responsibility to help people succeed with AAC and this drives everything the company does. People who face challenges with spoken communication deserve the opportunity to express themselves, connect with others and actively engage with the world. This is where AAC comes in. It’s not just about conveying information, it’s about participating in conversations and being an integral part of society.
