I'm looking for a landline phone that has a keyguard. I have a client with tremors who is unable to dial correctly due to accidentally pressing the wrong buttons. I'm wondering if a keyguard on his phone would help him stay independent with phoning people.

<p>Keyguards can be very useful for people with tremors to prevent pressing other buttons accidentally. Keyguards are typically customized to fit keyboards, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, or specific apps on touch screen devices. Unfortunately, there appears to be a significant gap in the area of providing keyguards for landline phones. In fact, <a href="https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/publications/reports/rp110327.htm" target="_blank">a study commission by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)</a> in 2011 found that “people with less severe tremors may be able to benefit from… guarded/recessed hardware controls… except that these are not widely available.” </p> <p>As keyguards are typically very customized to the phone, and we were only able to identify a <a href="https://www.keyguardat.com/ultratec-uniphone-1140-keyguard/" target="_blank">keyguard</a> (at <em>keyguardat.com)</em> for a specific <a href="https://www.chs.ca/product/ultratec-uniphone-1140" target="_blank">Teletypewriter (TTY) telephone</a> (at <em>chs.ca</em>) Since, we have been unable to identify a device or technology that appropriately addresses the challenge you are experiencing we have included a few other options.</p> <p>To have a keyguard customized for your client’s landline phone, you may want to reach out to CanAssist and submit a technology request form.
