Peterborough Sensory Support Service Visual Impairment

The council's Sensory Support Team is dedicated to supporting adults who have a sensory impairment whether it be their hearing, their vision, or both. A medical diagnosis is not needed to access support, information and advice.

Specialist assessments are carried out which focus on supporting you to stay safe and independent. The assessments might include:
giving you information and advice
providing advice on private purchase of aids
signposting to charitable organisations and community groups

Following the specialist assessment, we can provide rehabilitation and commission support for you so that your independence and quality of life can be improved in your home and community.

We can also supply suitable equipment/aids which aim to increase safety, confidence and independence both within the home and outdoors.
