Tobii Assistive Technology, Inc ( Tobii ATI ) is a premier developer of innovative hardware and software solutions for people with disabilities. The company is located in Boston, Massachusetts. Its close proximity to many of the nation's top teaching hospitals and education institutions helps foster close research and testing relationships with several of these facilities. Tobii ATI was started in the 1980s as a division of Boston Children's Hospital, the leading pediatric institution in the United States and the prime pediatric affiliate for the Harvard Medical School. This division, the Institute on Applied Technology ( IAT ), developed several leading edge products over a seven year span, including such solutions as the MultiVoice, MultiPhone, and WriteAway. This IAT division was quite a novel model in that its research and engineering operation worked side-by-side with the clinicians, teachers, and patients with disabilities at Children's to produce important products that truly addressed patient needs. In 1995, the increased level of activity and industry interest in state-of-the art technology solutions for people with disabilities provided the opportunity to create a separate, independent business for the special needs industry. The mission of this new company, Assistive Technology, Inc ( ATI ), was to concentrate on developing, promoting, selling, and servicing innovative products for the disabled. ATI grew into a comprehensive business operation with new products and a significant company infrastructure to service and support the customer. ATI released 15 breakthrough products, namely, MiniMerc, Mercury II, L * E * O, LinkPLUS, LinkCLASSIC, LINK, Gemini, Freestyle, Companion, EvaluWare, Stages, Stages Report Wizard, Stages Math, Functionally Speaking, and AT Profile. It also distributed many other hardware and software products from other manufacturers. In December 2007, ATI merged with Tobii Technology of Sweden, a world leader in hardware and software solutions for eye tracking. The new combined US company, Tobii ATI, sells and supports Tobii's eye tracking devices as well as its own product line. For more information about Tobii Technology, please visit www.tobii.com. The company's infrastructure has grown to produce a strong sales force and reseller network in the US and Canada. Other international business is handled by Tobii Technology AB in Sweden. In its Boston office, Tobii ATI maintains fully-staffed customer service, technical support, funding, and manufacturing/repair departments. Tobii ATI continues working relationships with educators, clinicians, and those with disabilities to develop true user solutions.
