iCanConnect Program Description
 
Communication is essential to being independent at home, participating in the community, and being productive at school or work.  Modern technology has expanded the way most people communicate in their day-to-day lives.  For people who experience a combined vision and hearing loss, specific and specialized equipment may be necessary to make a phone call, send an email or access the Internet.  In July 2014, the Assistive Technology Partnership became the certified agency for iCanConnect: The National Deaf Blind Equipment Distribution Program in Nebraska. The focus of ICC is to ensure that individuals, with limited incomes, and who experience a combined vision and hearing loss, can access telephone, advanced communications and information services.
