The Physical and Sensory Disabilities Service is part of Family Services and supports adults who have a range of physical and sensory impairments. The Sensory Impairment Team supports young people, adults and older people.  The Physical Disabilites Team supports adults between the ages of 18 to 65.

These include long-term limiting illnesses or conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy. It includes individuals who are disabled following a brain injury, accident or through HIV/AIDS.  It also includes people of all ages who may be deaf, very hard of hearing, have a severe or partial sight loss or a combination of sensory loss.

Our aim is to help people maintain their independence, health, safety and well-being.
