What We Do

As a service we aim to respond effectively to the specific needs of each child and to provide support in a number of different ways.

We work closely with colleagues in schools and with families, linking our work with that of Social Services and Health Authorities.

• Providing a Pre-School Group with opportunities to meet families and children with sensory impairment.

• Specialist assessment, teaching and advice of individual young people with sensory impairment.

• Provision of specialist teacher support for planning provision and the placement and monitoring of pupils with a sensory impairment.

• Keeping a resource bank of specialist equipment available for loan to schools.
