Sensory Support

Our Sensory Support is tailored to each person's unique needs, helping them access information, communicate effectively and stay connected to the people, places and activities that matter most.

Our team is skilled in hands-on signing, the Deafblind manual alphabet, and can provide tailored communication methods to meet each person's unique needs, enabling people to communicate with confidence and participate fully in everyday life.

Our Enablement Officers provide tailored support to individuals to improve independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing in their daily lives. This role ensures the delivery of high-quality, empowering support that enables people to achieve their personal goals and live fulfilling lives.

Our Communicator Guides usually work with people who have an acquired dual sensory loss, i.e. develop either or both hearing or sight loss in adulthood.

Our Communicator Guides promote independence by providing personalised support, empowering Deafblind and people with sight loss to carry out daily tasks, and supporting them with communication where necessary, to access services in the community.

Our Intervenors usually work with children and adults who were born Deafblind, often with other complex needs. They work with them and their family or carers to develop effective communication methods and support access to their environment and community.

Intervenors provide support both at home and in the community. A key part of the role is supporting and developing communication skills, promoting independence, and encouraging personal and social development. They work alongside schools and professionals such as speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, and social workers to make sure care plans are inclusive and right for each person.

“It's been amazing having an Intervenor. It has consistently proven to be beneficial."

The parent of a young person using our Intervenor Service in Hertfordshire shared this with us - it highlights the importance and impact this support can make.
