In Pennsylvania, the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University administers the iCanConnect program.
The goal of iCanConnect is to ensure that low-income individuals who have combined hearing and vision loss can access telephone, advanced communications and information services, which will help them make a phone call, send an email, access the Internet or use other communications technology to communicate with family, friends and community members.
Sandra McNally, the assistant director of community services, says iCanConnect a good fit because the Institute already distributes telecommunication equipment to Pennsylvanians with disabilities.
