About Us

 

We're Celebrating 30+ Years of Service! Illinois State Capitol

  • ITAC has been issuing FREE equipment in Illinois since 1988.
  • ITAC is a Not-for-Profit serving the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late-Deafened, DeafBlind, and Speech-Disabled communities. 
  • We are governed by the Illinois Commerce Commission, a Board of Directors, and a consumer Advisory Council. 
  • ITAC provides both the Illinois Relay phone service and an equipment program which are required by State and Federal law.
  • Our equipment is designed specifically for people who are having difficulty hearing on the standard phone system. 
  • While phones from retail stores may look the same, or even have the same brand, they are not the same!
  • Our phones are superior in amplification, features, adjustability, and durability.  And they're free!
  • ITAC programs are supported by a small charge on every phone line in Illinois.

ITAC is a Specified Voucher program.
