For some deaf and hard
of hearing people, use of traditional
telecommunication relay services (TRS)
is not always
desirable. For example, they may have a difficult time
easily,
clearly and quickly
explaining their needs using written
English. Rather, they may feel much
more comfortable using
sign language and making calls using a video relay service
(VRS).
As a service to individuals who
do not have access to a
videophone, MCDHH invites them to use the
videophone
at the MCDHH office. Usage of the videophone is free, but
must be
scheduled with the
MCDHH staff at least one day
in advance.
