Have confidence in every conversation.

Do you find it difficult to use a standard phone? Do people ask you to repeat yourself during telephone conversations? Do you miss important calls because you can’t hear the phone ring?

The MAT program has a variety of equipment solutions to support clearer communication, including:

• Amplified phones

• Tablets
