 Xogo
● Xogo is an assistive technology company
co-founded by a man who grew up with a
family member with mobility difficulty.
They created this device to attach to
consoles, cable boxes, and home devices so
people with disabilities are still able to
participate in technology such as video
games and using a computer. An example
of a Xogo product is a joystick that can be
attached to a wheelchair. This can be used
in the classroom for computer and
technology education.
 “
Use in a Special Education Class
▸ Useful for students who have mobility disabilities but
still have some use of their upper body.
▸ Allows for students to use technology used by
classmates without disabilities allowing for inclusion.
▸ By providing adaptive technology through Xogo,
students are still able to learn computer literacy and
use technology as a learning tool.
 Pros
▸ Inclusive of students with disabilities without having to have exclusive
technology that feels isolating.
▸ Attaches to devices already commonly used.
▸ Can be used in the classroom as well as at home.
▸ The company has created a website where users can create hookups for
Xogo and share with other users if they have a product suggestion.
 Cons
▸ Does have an initial extra cost that schools will have to budget for.
▸ Not suitable for all disabilities. Ex: someone who has mobility issues
in the arms.
▸ Not yet widely used so there will be a learning and adjustment period.
▸ Ensure that the tools are not abused for games but instead used for
learning.
