Support a student you work with who is Deaf or vision impaired

Our Sensory Services team supports children and young people with Deafness or vision impairments in mainstream nurseries, mainstream schools and local special schools. 

We can help schools by: 

• creating a Personal Learning Plan to match a child’s learning needs
• giving support from a Qualified Teacher of the Deaf, Qualified Teacher of Vision Impairments, outreach workers, Deaf instructor and Qualified Habilitation Specialist
• working together with specialist teachers and other health services
• providing specialist technology resources such as assistive listening devices
• training for peers, individual staff or the whole school 

If you are working with a child that you think needs our support, find out how to get support with Deafness or vision impairment in school.
