Get support Support us Donate Home Support for children Support for children We are here to give your family the personalised support you need for your child, from early childhood through to adulthood. We know that being a parent of a child who is deafblind or has other complex disabilities can be challenging. With the right support, we believe it's possible for every child to make sense of their world and the world around them. To communicate, connect and take part in life, no matter what. Get in touch for information and advice about support for you and your child. The Sense approach to supporting children We are communication experts. We will take time to understand your child's way of communicating, or we will learn your child's particular way of expressing themselves. We support children and young people in lots of different ways: In the home, in the community and at our centres. In their education and transition to adulthood. With holidays. With arts, sport and wellbeing sessions.
