Sense Scotland

Sense Scotland is a leader in the field of communication and innovative support services for people who are marginalised because of challenging behaviour, health care issues and the complexity of their support needs. The organisation offers a range of services for children, young people and adults whose complex support needs are caused by deafblindness or sensory impairment, physical, learning or communication difficulties. Our services are designed to provide continuity across age groups and we work closely with families and colleagues from health, education and social work. This breadth and depth of approach to service delivery helps us take a wider perspective on the direction and implementation of new policies.
