Rhode

Island Relay presents Captioned Telephone

 Do you or someone you know experience difficulty

hearing over the telephone? If so, you are encouraged to join us on March 5, 2014 at 11:00 am at Johnston Senior Center to learn more about an exciting phone

and service that is available to you. 

Courtenay

Petracca, Rhode Island Relay Outreach Coordinator will be

here to talk about the benefits of Captioned Telephone (CapTel®),

and how you can obtain a CapTel phone through the Rhode Island Adaptive

Telephone Equipment Loan Program (ATEL) and Rhode Island Relay.

 The CapTel® phone

looks and works just like a traditional phone, with one important difference:

it displays word-for-word captions of everything the other party says during a

conversation. Captions appear on a bright, built-in display screen directly on

the phone so that users are able to listen while reading what’s being said.

 If you are unable to attend

the presentation, feel free to contact Courtenay

Petracca of Rhode Island Relay for more information at 401-368-5593.

You may also e-mail Courtenay at Courtenay.Petracca@HamiltonRelay.com

or visit www.rirelay.org .

We look forward to seeing you

there!
