User Stories

On these pages we have collected some amazing stories about remarkable individuals who, despite their disabilities, keep on going. Their stories are encouraging and show that solutions from Tobii can play a part in leading a more independent and fulfilled life.

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to all those who are still around, while we keep the memory of those we have lost close to our hearts. These are their stories.
