People Matter To Us

Link to The City WireHeather Lewis from 5NEWS did a very nice interview with Tom Jakobs and George Fosnaught. Several of Tom's friends keep reminding him that he has a face for radio(!), that said, we certainly do appreciate Heather's interest and expertise at making people more aware of the people we work with and how InvoTek tries to help them. InvoTek recently received funding from The National Institutes of Health for developing communication software for children who struggle or are unable to talk. We also have a grant for training caregivers of persons with dementia. We feel very fortunate to be able to work on such a broad range of technologies. Thanks to 5NEWS and The City Wire for letting people know what we are up to!

The Be Extraordinary program is growing up! We have incorporated Be Extraordinary as it's own not-for-profit and are presently seeking our 501(c)3 tax status. This will enable us to apply for grants, expand the types of disabilities that we can serve, and expand our service area. Thanks to all of you who continue to support us. We couldn't do it without you!

Your gift through this website enables us to help our clients who need support. Donations will be used to support the person you choose -- or if you prefer -- we'll apply your gift to the greatest need. In either case -- thanks!



Welcome to InvoTek, where technology opens the door to independence, communication, and quality of life for people with severe disabilities.

Our expertise lies in two areas – helping people like George and Martin control computers when they can’t use their hands, and improving communication for people who find it challenging to use their natural speech.

Here's what InvoTek can do for you:

  • Provide research-proven technology.
  • Be your engineering partner so you can achieve your life goals.
  • Help you find funding --even if your needs aren't fundable through insurance.
  • Give you a way to use your skills and expertise to help others.

At InvoTek, our priority is to help every client obtain the tools and services needed to improve quality of life. We have innovative programs to help people access the products and the services so they can do extraordinary things, even if they seem ordinary. Please contact us -- we’ll do our best to help you.

Please be our Facebook friend (on right) or give us your email address so that we can update you once a month. We won't share your address with anyone else.

Featured Video

Loyd Route passed away on Saturday May 5th. Loyd had cerebral palsy and worked with Tom Jakobs (InvoTek's President) since the early 1990s. Loyd was exceptionally smart and accomplished much, including obtaining his college degree. Tom and Diane went to his graduation, which was spectacular. On that day Loyd was feeling ill and having trouble controlling his wheelchair. He was the last person in his college to receive his diploma and when he finally made it up the ramp to the podium the entire stadium spontaneously started to clap and gave him a standing ovation. It was a special moment in time. We'll miss Loyd. The video above has been one of the favorites on our YouTube channel. I hope you'll watch it and say a small prayer for Loyd.
