Distance communication, such as emails, chatting online, sending text messages, using the phone, tablet or computer can be very challenging for individuals who are DeafBlind.
The Access through Technology (ATT) program can provide free assessments, equipment (such as tablets, computers, landline phones or smartphones) and training at no cost to eligible CT residents.
To be eligible for ATT services, a person must have a combination of significant vision loss and significant hearing loss and also meet the lower income level.
This program is funded under the FCC's National Deaf Blind Equipment Distribution Program. To learn more about the ATT program, please visit the CT Tech Act Project or the National Deaf Blind Equipment Distribution Program (iCanConnect)
