Sensory Consortium

This is a peripatetic teaching and advisory service available for children and young people with educational needs arising from a diagnosed hearing and/or visual impairment (0-19 years).

Specialist teachers work with the individual child within the context of the family, school and community from diagnosis through to entry to the work place. The teachers liaise closely with families and other professionals to enable and support appropriate educational provision and inclusion in either mainstream or special schools. Referrals can be from parents, health professionals, pre-schools or schools.
