Tourette Syndrome can include motor or vocal tics that are often beyond a person’s control. While tics don’t define intelligence or professionalism, situations like phone interviews, virtual meetings, or other calls can feel especially stressful.
Relay Texas can help take the stress out of making important phone calls with services designed specifically for people with speech differences.

With Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), IP Relay, and Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) you have the option of typing out your message and having your words spoken on calls for you by a relay operator.

- IP Relay makes this calling option available on phones, tablets, or computers through the IP Relay app.
- HCO offers the same style of service but through a landline HCO device.
- RCC also allows a user’s written words to be voiced for them but on video meetings, webinars, and conference calls.

During Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month, we recognize that everyone deserves communication options that reduce stress and support confidence. Accessible tools help people show up as the professionals they are! Learn more about our relay services for people with speech differences by visiting relaytexas.com

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) often affects speech over time. Many people with ALS experience dysarthria, which can cause speech to become slow, slurred, quiet, strained, or difficult to understand. For most people with ALS, there comes a point when their communication needs change—and that’s where accessible technology matters.

This , we recognize that everyone deserves communication options that preserve dignity, independence, and connection. Accessible relay services help people with ALS stay heard—at every stage of the journey.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) affects 1 in every 2,500 births, yet it’s often called “the most common disorder you’ve never heard of.” NF is a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow on nerves, often affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These tumors can impact movement, coordination, and communication.

Relay services can support people with NF who experience speech differences or hearing loss by making phone communication more accessible. If you or someone you know needs assistance learning how to use relay services, send us a DM! We are always available to help.

This World NF Awareness Day, join the campaign to help spread the word—because accessible communication helps people with NF stay connected, informed, and understood.
