Tecla; Assistive Technology Device

Tecla is an assistive technology device for people with disabilities that gives you hands free access to your smart devices.

Tecla is for anyone who can’t easily use a smartphone, tablet or computer. This includes those with limited upper-body mobility resulting from spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, ALS, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, or stroke.

Tecla allows an individual to control their iOS and mobile smart phones, computers, etc. — hands-free. This advanced system works with all assistive switches on the market including buttons, sip-and-puff controllers, head arrays, joysticks and the driving controls of a wheelchair.

It’s critical that we provide people with disabilities the tools to gain own independence and Tecla does just that. This device lets you connect to your smart devices from any location.  Use it from your wheelchair during the day, or from your bed at night. Unlike other assistive devices that aren’t portable, Tecla moves with you.
