Welcome to the Washington TED Program Application
The Washington Telecommunication Equipment Distribution (TED) program distributes specialized telecommunication equipment that enables Washington residents to have independent use of the telephone.
People (ages 4 and up) who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, or Speech Disabled and live in Washington State are eligible to apply for services. The cost of equipment is based on a sliding fee scale which uses the client's annual income and family size to determine if there is a cost to the client or not. Many of our clients receive the equipment at no cost.
