ITAC Amplified Phone Program

Another bridge to independence for persons with disabilities is IVCIL’s ITAC Amplified Phone Program. This program is designed to meet the needs of and increase the community options for persons who are deaf/hard of hearing/hearing impaired.

Further sensitivity training can be provided and is aimed to enlighten the community on understanding and interacting with persons with hearing loss.

In addition, the ITAC Amplified Phone Program offers information and referral services in person or by phone. We have several equipment catalogs by which a consumer may purchase items.
