Isle of Wight Sensory Services

The Isle of Wight Sensory Service will provide assessments of need, targeted support, information and advice for people with sight, hearing and dual sensory impairments on the Isle of Wight. By delivering services which support the full range of sensory impairments the service will seek to reduce duplication and create a simple pathway for people living with multiple sensory impairments enabling them to access support which meets their needs. Our local sensory loss registers indicate that the current service supports approximately 2000 people on the Isle of Wight with varying levels of support needs. The aim of the service is to promote and support independence by providing high quality information and advice and access to a wide variety of resources and support options which will support people to live full and active lives.
