Sense-National Deafblind and Rubella Association

Sense National Deafblind and Rubella Association Sense is a national charity that supports and campaigns for children and adults who are deafblind. It provides specialist information, advice and services to deafblind people, their families, carers and the professionals who work with them. In addition, it supports people who have sensory impairments with additional disabilities.

Services include help for families, day services where deafblind people can build confidence and learn new skills, and Sense-run houses in the community – where people are supported to live as independently as possible. Sense communicator-guides offer a vital lifeline to deafblind people living in their own homes. And it provides specialist advice, for example on education options and assistive technology.

Sense has worked with deafblind people and their families for over 50 years. It has set up services where they are needed, campaigned vigorously for change and built a worldwide reputation for our pioneering work.
