What do the Sensory Inclusion Service offer?

We support children and young people and their families from the moment of diagnosis, until they leave further education. We support:

  • At home (particularly in the Early Years)
  • In Early Years settings
  • In Educational Settings
  • In Further Education (6th forms and colleges)

Our work includes:

  • Assessment and identification of needs (including supporting the Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments and Annual Reviews).
  • Advice, support and training to ensure educational settings know how to meet the needs of children and young people with hearing and/or visual impairments.
  • Working 1:1 with children and young people, which may include some direct teaching where appropriate.
  • Advising educational settings about planning, modifications of materials and support strategies (depending on level of need).
