Sensory Service

We are a team of teachers with specialist qualifications working with children and young people with sensory impairment.

The team comprises of Qualified Teachers of the Deaf (QTOD) and Qualified Teachers of the Visually Impaired (QTVI).

Sensory Service Update:

This is an update on how the EA’s Sensory Service will be working in the coming weeks, during the period of school closure:

• Visits from the Sensory Service to homes and schools are now suspended. However, as a team, we are developing ways in which we can continue to support our families, children and young people. To help you at this difficult time we are putting advice, resources and suggestions for activities in the Sensory Service area on the EA website. We would encourage you to access the website and check regularly for any updates.
   
• Schools have been providing work packs for home study. If you need assistance with understanding an aspect of the work which has been assigned for your child, with modifying work or you need support with the technology they use, we will offer whatever help we can.

Please contact your Teacher of the Deaf or Teacher of the Visually Impaired and we will do our best to support you as a Service.
