For everyone living with complex disabilities. For everyone who is deafblind. Sense is here to help people communicate and experience the world.
We believe that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential!
We provide expert support that’s tailored to the individual needs of each person who has complex disabilities or is deafblind. That might be through our centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. In addition to practical support, we also offer information to families, and campaign for the rights of people with complex disabilities to take part in life.

Understanding choice and consent for people with complex disabilities
Переглядів 199Місяць тому
Working with Vamos Theatre, using theatre/role play workshops, and using gesture, masks, and non-formal communication, we explored themes of consent with some of the disabled people we support. This included recognising ‘No’ is as valuable as ‘Yes’ and ways of making choices and communicating to others. This pilot project with individuals attending the Sense college and day service was funded b...

Hazel's progression and growth in confidence on the slopes has been fantastic. It's a our pleasure to ski with her and work with together with Tracey and everyone at Sense.

Poor Samantha is deaf 🧏♀️ blind in both ears 👂 👂 . Perhaps 🤔 Samantha is profoundly deaf 🧏♀️ 🧏♀️ in both ears 👂 👂 . Could Samantha be autistic? I think 🤔 Samantha had learning disabilities. 👍

Greetings from Sweden, im a deafblind armwrestling parathlete.

I came across these two ladies in the park one day that were balling their eyes out and I stopped to ask if they were okay and the one told me about the other having those implants put in and she was crying because she could hear it. Birds and all the sounds of nature. I'm not going to lie it got to me too once I realize the reality of being able to hear things you've never heard before.
God bless her.
So beautiful
She needed a Happiness hug. And she did not get one.🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😃😀💋💋💕💞🦻🦻🦻👀👀👍☝️
Be God be with you…God us so excited for you! Thank Heavenly Father ✨so happy for you ! Praise God . Be blessed.♥️🛐✝️☮️
It a fake video no way josa, had bad teeth all my life , it’s only about the Benjamin 10,000 dollars no way
"My voice will sound high at first." Nah, it always will.
Wonderful
So happy for you!! ❤
It’s a beautiful story and outcome, I just feel it’s so sad that people have to wait until adulthood before they get one, all the things they missed out on when in childhood. We all take our hearing and sight for granted, let’s hope more can be done to help those who need it as early as possible 🙏
I allmost start crying myself,,,,,,, wow 👍🌷 enjoy 😃
What an incredibly happy emotional event🙏
A huge moment in her life and a positive one at that.
What I don’t understand is: How does a person who’s been deaf understand words they’ve not heard? Would they need sign language to accompany the spoken word to understand?
In this case, she's probably helped by lip reading.
Oh the tears I shed!!
First thing I’d do after giving her a hug is to play Elvis Presley songs for her. 🎶!!!
That woman spoke to her as if she was a child .
Amazing....
What a wonderful day for a sweet woman. Nice to see her experiencing her first sensation of sound. ❤
A very wonderful gift she was given after many years of being deaf. We who hear do take it for granted. This lady understands how her new ability to hear will change her life for the better. I’m so happy for her. ❤
Give her a tissue❤
This happened to me......but it was hearing aids......I was 80%deaf and didn't even know.....I couldn't always hear what people were saying so I got tested and found out that I needed hearing aids......when I put them in.....I became so emotional, I was in a new world.....music sounded awesome, peoples voices, birds waves on the beach, everything was different.....but awesome
Beautiful!!
