The eighth demonstration site for the Telecommunications Access Program with the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing has open in Thelma in Johnson County. The new site at the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Training Center is open for Kentucky residents to test a variety of telephones for this with hearing loss and speech impairment. TAP is a statewide effort to provide residents of Kentucky, who have speech and hearing impairments, with landline or wireless equipment to make communication on the telephone more accessible. There is also a TAP location in Pikeville. For more information about the TAP program, you can contact Wilma Wright at 502-573-2604.
