The Maryland Accessible Telecommunications program provides Maryland residents with an opportunity to apply for free telecommunications equipment to independently make or receive calls. Any Maryland resident (age three or older) who has difficulty using a standard telephone is invited to apply. Even if you do not qualify for equipment provided from the State, you may still receive a free evaluation to find an assistive telecommunications solution that meets your needs. The MAT program also offers a variety of easy-to-use phone solutions for people with low vision, including phones with large and/or high contrast buttons. Every qualified applicant receives a free one-on-one evaluation to determine the right solution for him/her.
