Sight and hearing loss

If you have a sight or hearing loss there are services that can help.

If you are a parent of a child with sight or hearing loss, contact the Sensory Support Team for children and young people.

Support and information for adults:

We have a specialist team - Sensory Services - who provide advice and support on independent living for adults with sensory impairments.

We offer help and guidance to adults who live in Sandwell, who:

• have sight loss, hearing loss or both
• are carers of people with sight or hearing loss.

Although this team engages mainly with adults, the team do engage and involve themselves at the transition age (16- 18 years) for visually impaired children with a view to introducing the team for their future needs. Hearing Impaired Children are assessed within the team and they supply deaf equipment to meet their needs.
