Individual support in the community
Sense communicator-guides and intervenors can help deafblind people, their families, carers, and the professionals who work with them, with specialist support exactly where it’s needed – in the home or community.
Our communicator-guides provide deafblind people who have dual-sensory loss, or acquired deafblindness, with practical assistance in everyday tasks.
Our experienced Sense intervenors use their expertise to support adults and children who are congenitally deafblind. Acting as enablers in person-centred programmes, intervenors help to promote the person’s social and personal development on a one-to-one basis.
The Sense Deafblind Directory is a useful database of service providers for deafblind people.
Also across this section you can find a wealth of information about services provided by trained and experienced staff and volunteers for deafblind children, young people and their families, as well as great family days out, and holidays and short breaks for people of all ages with sight and hearing impairments.
