Future In Sight is working on behalf of the NH Governor's Commission on Disability to offer the NH Telecommunications Equipment Assistance Program (NH-TEAP) to residents of New Hampshire with vision loss, hearing loss, and challenges to speech and mobility.

This program helps these individuals acquire an accessible landline OR mobile phone plus provides training on how to access emergency services.

Phones are available at up to a 50% discount to individuals who qualify for the program based on the disabilities mentioned above. In some cases, the cost of the phone may be fully covered.

PD: The first slide shows a landline phone and a hand holding the receiver. Text asks: Are the buttons on your phone getting hard to read? Is the speaker getting difficult to hear? Text continues on the next slide, saying: the NH Telecommunications Equipment Assistance Program can help! The text is next to a man speaking on a TEAP cordless phone with light-up buttons. The final slide shows a variety of TEAP landline and mobile phones with the text: Through NH-TEAP, you can acquire an accessible phone at up to a 50% discount.
