Advisory Services

The Advisory service are usually the first point of contact in Sense Scotland for any family who are seeking information or advice on a family member who has severe sensory impairment. The service also plays a principal liaison role with the professional staff of other agencies who request advice in the interests of a service user. There are three Family Advisors, based in the East, North and West of Scotland.

Advisory services can help people by:

• Providing information and advice.
• Identifying services and resources.
• Looking at how to help with vision, hearing, mobility and learning.
• Giving advice on learning and personal care.
• Helping with communication and difficult behaviour.
• Putting families and carers in touch with other families and professionals.
• Advisory also help with questions or concerns about education.
