The Neil Squire Society has been revolutionizing the lives of Canadians with disabilities since 1984 through accessible assistive technology.
Our organization was established when 21-year-old Neil Squire was left a brain-stem tetraplegic after a car crash. Seeing he was unable to speak or move his arms and legs, Neil’s family and a group of professionals in Vancouver created a ground-breaking device allowing him to communicate by using his breath to type Morse code.
The technology was rudimentary at the time but it reconnected Neil to the world, allowing him to speak with family and friends once again. After Neil passed, the small but mighty group formed the Society in his name to keep improving the lives of people with disabilities. Speaking to a loved one. Checking email. Maintaining or finding a new job. Since Day One, our mandate hasn’t changed—we believe people of all abilities should have the opportunity to live, work and play without barriers.
We are the Canadian leader in Assistive Technology, from innovation right through to trialing and implementation. We create affordable assistive technology devices that give people with disabilities greater control over their lives. We also offer immersive programs that teach people with disabilities how to use technology and succeed both at home and in the workplace.
We are a partner of choice for government and industry decision-makers who share our passion for making Canada more accessible for all. Together, our work enables people with disabilities to achieve their goals, reach their full potential and continue living life to the fullest.
