Telecommunication equipment for Alaska who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech-Disabled.

To take advantage of the TEDP, you must be an Alaskan resident and have a need for distance communication.

In addition, you must have one of the following as certified by a physician, audiologist or hearing-aid specialist, speech-language pathologist, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation or the Department of Education:

• Significant Hearing Loss
• Speech Impairment
• Communication disorder which severely interferes with communication effectively over the telephone

Individuals who would like to be considered for speech apps must be able to access text-based communication.

Once Assistive Technology of Alaska receives your completed application and proof of residency, a representative will contact you to conduct an interview to better understand your distance communication needs.
