Project Description:

The iCanConnect Delaware program is a program established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to distribute a wide array of assistive technology to people who are deaf-blind and require special equipment to make a phone call, send an email, or access the Internet. Working in conjunction with the FCC, Perkins School for the Deaf and Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youth and Adults (HKNC), CDS will connect people in Delaware who are deaf-blind with the proper equipment and training on how to utilize it. iCanConnect was mandated by the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) and provides a wide range of hardware, software, and applications to suit the varying communications technology needs of people who have hearing and vision loss.
