The sensory and physical impairment team is a highly specialist team experienced in working with children and young people who have a hearing impairment, physical disability, multi-sensory impairment or visual impairment.
All children and their families are supported by the team from diagnosis (which might be at a very early age) and we will be involved until they leave school. Levels of support provided, however, will be dependent upon eligibility criteria and individual levels of need which is reviewed throughout the academic year.
Advice for parents and carers.
Schools can make a referral or find further information on the services provided by SISS on the education extranet.
