Delta Center helps disabled adults who are Missouri residents qualify for a free adaptive phone. 

Telephones are an integral part of our lives and therefore necessary. Above all, they help us to stay connected with those who matter most.

But what if using a cell phone or a traditional telephone is difficult?

The good news is there are phones for people with disabilities! Adaptive telephones are phones designed for disabled people who need assistance sending and receiving calls. 

If you are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, have cognitive issues like dementia, speech impairments, mobility problems like spinal cord injury (SCI), or paralysis, an adaptive telephone might be a suitable solution for your communication needs. 

Types of Adaptive Telephones

  • low vision phones
  • amplified phones for hearing impaired
  • hands-free phone devices 
  • phones with light for the deaf 
  • phones with pictures for people with dementia
    Adaptive phone with big buttons for the vision impaired.

If you have trouble using the phone, Delta Center may be able to help!
