We have working systems like the Tongue Drive System (TDS) [0]. Tech companies seem out there [1] or [2] that offer solutions, but the a11y market is largely dysfunctional across the globe.
It is so difficult to get everyone the tech that works best for them. I was part of large EU funded project that wanted to fix this with an open source ecosystem [2]. However, I had to learn that although there are many innovative and engaged people it is really hard to fix seemingly simple problems.
