In 2023, Reviewed, USA TODAY’s consumer product review brand, launched the AccessABILITY Awards to recognize the important work being done to aid the millions of people with disabilities. As a publication, Reviewed is committed to providing trusted accessibility coverage.
Thus far, awardees have been selected from the myriad of accessibility products that debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the iconic trade show held each January in Las Vegas. In 2024, the second year of the AccessABILITY awards, Xander Glasses were selected as one of ten "cutting-edge adaptive and accessible products that level the playing field."

Reviewed staff identify Innovative new products designed for consumers with disabilities as candidates for the AccessABILITY awards. Christopher Groux, senior editor at Reviewed, who describes himself as an “accessibility aficionado with cerebral palsy," and Sarah Kovac cover adaptive products for Reviewed. They evaluate and write about products based on their potential to help persons with disabilities. Groux explained, “We take great pride in the fact that all content in the section is authored by persons dealing with disabilities or those who’ve spent extensive time as a caretaker.”
Learn more about the amazing ten products selected as game-changing tech for people with disabilities, like the Wheely-X manual wheelchair treadmill and Whispp, a voice app that converts whispered speech and vocal cord impaired speech into a clear and natural voice of the user's choice, in Reviewed's announcement of 2024 winners.
Knowing the pride and care that Reviewed places into selecting winners, the Xander team felt especially honored to receive an AccessABILITY award!
