Deaf Awareness Week is September 24-29, 2012. Did you know you can dial 7-1-1 to connect and communicate with any caller 24 hours a day? Dialing 7-1-1 will connect you with Wisconsin Relay, a free service throughout Wisconsin for people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-disabled. All calls are private and confidential.
Deaf Awareness Week is a great time for businesses to educate their employees about Wisconsin Relay and the Please Don’t Hang Up campaign. The 7-1-1 service does not work with all business phone systems. See these alternative toll-free numbers to contact Wisconsin Relay.
