Callers are persons who are blind, visually impaired, learning disabled, or physically disabled.
There is no charge for calling this system within the area. If the caller is placing the call long distance, the caller pays the phone company's long distance rate. In order to receive the number for Call-RIS, a caller must supply an RIS staff member with information that determines eligibility to receive this service. An RIS staff member will complete a short application for record keeping purposes. After careful screening, training, and matching of volunteers with clients, our volunteers read and respond to a variety of printed materials.
