About this resource

About

Accessibility Services Inc. (ASI) was founded in 1991 with a primary focus on veterans with severe disabilities and has since developed the autonoME into the leading combined ECU and AAC device for individuals with the most complex access needs, including those with quadriplegia, ALS, MS, and locked-in syndrome. The autonoME is used in hospitals, residential facilities, and private homes.

What It Does

The autonoME allows a single device to control televisions, lights, fans, adjustable beds, window blinds, and home appliances, while simultaneously functioning as a speech-generating communication device. Users can operate it through voice activation, touch screen, sip-and-puff, head tracking, or eye gaze — making it accessible to people with no functional hand movement. The autonoMEgo variant is a portable version for use across different rooms and settings.

Who It Helps

Individuals with quadriplegia, ALS, MS, locked-in syndrome, or other conditions causing severe motor impairment who need multimodal access to home environment controls and augmentative communication from a single integrated device.
