I think the reason you can't find the TTD symbol is that it's not a TTD.
It's either called a TTY or a TDD in the US, and sometimes TT (text
telephone) in other countries. The prefered term in the American Deaf
community is TTY. The symbol can be found on the site you indicated,
http://gag.org/resources/das. Look under Telephone Typewriter (TTY).

The closest I've come to finding anything was on the Graphic Artists
Guild site. They have a fairly limited collection of common "disability
access symbols" http://gag.org/resources/das - no TTD one, unfortunately.

May be worth trawling sites like www.fontshop.com (although it's a pain
because there's no keyword search, so potentially have to go through all
1200+ symbol sets).

Hope this is of some limited use,
