Abstract:
Recently, two hundred deaf people in Charlotte received telephone-teletypes, or TTYs. Volunteers in a group called Contact operate as a go-between, connecting TTY users to people with regular phones. The volunteers also schedule doctors' appointments and dinner engagements. Currently, the only emergency agency with a TTY is the Charlotte Police Department which has so far proven ineffectual in responding to distress calls sent via the TTY.\r\n
