We’re proud to share that Talk To Me Technologies and the US branch of Smartbox are now officially one company: Smartbox.
After more than three years of close collaboration, shared learning and growth, we are bringing our teams together. This marks an exciting milestone in our mission to ensure no one is left without a voice.
When Talk To Me and the US branch of Smartbox joined forces a few years ago, operations continued under different names. Since then, we have been able to support more people across the United States than ever before. By combining our expertise in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), we have strengthened our ability to deliver both the tools and the support that are needed by the individuals, families, clinicians and funding partners we work with every day.
Operating as one unified organization allows us to collaborate more seamlessly, share knowledge more effectively, and move forward with a clear, aligned mission for AAC provision in the US. It simplifies how we show up for our clients and clinical partners, reducing confusion, removing duplication and strengthening our reach and impact.
While Talk To Me’s name is now Smartbox, our commitment remains the same. The relationships, values and dedication that built both Smartbox and Talk to Me continue to be an important part of who we are together.
This name change is a natural next step in our evolution. We’re excited about what this means for the future of Smartbox, and for the people we serve.
