Isle of Wight Council, GB partners with local charity on Wight Sense sensory support program

Isle of Wight Council, GB Wight Sense Sensory Support

Complete

Project partner Sight for Wight visits residents with vision and hearing impairments for assessments of their support needs. These consultations may lead to mobility training, hands-on assistance, and device recommendations. Wight Sense does not set a minimum level of impairment for participation and expands existing services to people with multi-sensory impairments. The program accepts self-referrals along with referrals by community organizations.
