Just wanted to add some more things to my Post from last week that people who have commented.
Another alternative to internet relay and video relay for Deafblind would be to use a SSP (Support Service Provider) or they're also known as CF (Communication Facilitators) to assist with phone calls. This could help with scheduled calls as the SSP/CF has to be scheduled ahead of time, but this wouldn't help with things that have to be dealt with that day (emergencies, school, work).
If you're upset with the internet relay shutdowns, you can file a complaint with the FCC through this form - Disability Access Complaint. It lists several methods, online, phone, fax and mail. We need our voices heard and not be left behind again!
I'm still open to suggestions on best video relay service, what options each company offers, if they're deafblind friendly or not, "size" of screen adjustment options, etc.
We need to explore other communication options and stop the cutbacks that affect the Deafblind community.
