Huntington’s disease can affect movement, thinking, and speech, making phone conversations more difficult over time. No matter where someone is in their journey, relay services are here to help support accessible communication.
Services like Speech‑to‑Speech (STS), Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), and IP Relay give people with Huntington’s the flexibility to communicate in ways that work best for them—so their thoughts are shared clearly and confidently, even when speech differences arise.
This month, we raise awareness and reaffirm that everyone deserves to be heard and understood!

On World Parkinson’s Day, we recognize the importance of communication access for people living with Parkinson’s Disease 💙
Speech changes are a common part of Parkinson’s—affecting up to 90% of people as the condition progresses and often appearing early on. In fact, about 40% of newly diagnosed individuals report speech difficulties, sometimes even before motor symptoms are identified. *
For people who experience speech differences, Speech‑to‑Speech (STS) services are here to support them. STS connects users to trained relay operators who revoice the caller’s words when needed for clarity—making phone calls to doctors, family, workplaces, easier and more accessible.
Everyone deserves to be heard. Today, we raise awareness of tools that support dignity, independence, and connection 📞
