Welcome to the TEPP Tutorial! The TEPP (Telecommunications Equipment Purchase Program) funding program can assist people with disabilities with the purchase of specialized equipment. SVRI brings you an online tutorial designed to answer your questions about the program.  This FREE, self-paced, tutorial is available for consumers and service providers who want to learn more about using the TEPP program. Funding for the project development is from the Non-Profit Access Grant program made available through the Wisconsin Public Service Commission.

The tutorial is divided up into three parts and is presented in an audio visual format.  We encourage you to work through the modules in order and then return, as needed, for information to any one of them in the future.

Following the tutorials is a brief survey that we would like you to complete. We have also included links to the TEPP application website and the TEPP resources available through the Public Service Commission.

If you have questions about the Tutorials or the TEPP Program please contact Laura Plummer at plummerl@uwstout.edu or by phone at 715-232-3300 (voice or 711 Relay)
