Sensory Support

Sensory Support is a specialist educational service for children and young people with hearing loss or vision impairment. The Birmingham Sensory Support Service comprises of two specialist teaching teams – The Hearing Support Team (HST) and The Vision Support Team (VST).
Each team of specialist staff work with children and young people with a sensory impairment at all stages of their educational development; in homes, early years settings, mainstream schools, special schools and colleges. Each team works in partnership with the child or young person, the family, schools and setting to remove barriers to pupil’s learning and to raise attainment.
