About
Developed by Smartbox (part of Inclusive Technology), Grid 3 is deployed across thousands of schools, homes, and clinical settings in the UK and Europe. It ships with an extensive library of pre-built grid sets created by speech-language therapists, and the Grid Explorer community allows users to share custom grids freely.
What It Does
Supports symbol-based and text AAC with intelligent word prediction, message banking, and voice output. Beyond communication, Grid 3 provides full Windows computer control — internet browsing, email, document editing — through gaze, switch, head tracking, or touch. The companion Grid Player app for iPad extends pre-built grids to iOS. Smartbox Relay enables remote configuration by clinicians.
Who It Helps
People with complex communication needs due to cerebral palsy, ALS, autism, acquired brain injury, or physical disabilities. The integrated communication-and-computer-access design makes it particularly valuable for students and working adults who want one tool for both AAC and digital independence.
