SALT LAKE CITY, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sorenson Communications, a leading provider of accessible communication services for Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of hearing communities, today announced it has been named to the second annual Forbes Accessibility 200 list. The prestigious recognition highlights organizations around the world that are driving innovation and advancing accessibility through products, services, and technologies that improve the lives of people with disabilities.
The Forbes Accessibility 200 list was compiled with the assistance of a 12-member expert advisory board from around the world and includes the top 200 global impact-makers in accessibility related fields like communication, mobility, education, software, consumer products, robotics, sports and recreation, travel, the workplace, entertainment and more. Listees represent 23 different countries on six continents, and they are presented alphabetically rather than ranked.
Sorenson's recognition on the list reflects its long-standing commitment to advancing accessible communication through innovative consumer solutions for Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of hearing communities. Sorenson's commitment to accessible communication extends from consumer solutions to enterprise services which help organizations create workplaces where employees have the communication access and support they need to succeed.
"Accessibility has evolved from a legal mandate to a bustling frontier of innovation, impact and profit," says Alan Schwarz, Forbes Assistant Managing Editor. "From juggernaut companies to lone entrepreneurs, accessibility innovation inspires new features, products and services that transform how people with disabilities, and often the wider world, communicate, travel, learn, work, play sports, and so much more. It's now beyond the 'right thing to do,' it's integral to a smart business."
Sorenson Communications continues to lead the industry with accessible communication offerings that serve both consumers and organizations, including Video Relay Service (VRS), Virtual Sign Language Interpreting (VRI), in-person sign language interpreting, captioning services, AI Sign Language Translation, and other innovative technologies designed to expand accessibility across the workplace, education, healthcare and everyday life.
