The ability to communicate is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs- yet for some people with disabilities, something as simple as making a phone call can become extremely frustrating and challenging, leaving a person feeling isolated from their support system. Thankfully, we live in a time where adaptive technology is becoming increasingly more advanced.
So what are adaptive phones?
Adaptive telephones are phones designed for disabled people who need assistance sending and receiving calls.
Types of adaptive phones
- low vision phones
- amplified phones for the hearing impaired
- hands-free phone devices
- phones with light for the deaf
- phones with pictures for people with dementia
So whether you have a vision impairment like macular degeneration or mobility issues that make using your hands challenging, an adaptive phone can help. At Delta Center for Independent Living, we help people with disabilities find the right phone to meet their needs. You may even qualify for a FREE adaptative telephone.
