Devon’s SEND Local Offer
Sensory or physical needs
Children and young people with sensory or physical needs may have a physical disability, vision or hearing impairment or difficulties, or dual-sensory impairments (both hearing and vision difficulties).
They may need specialist equipment to access learning and other opportunities available to their peers.
They may also need support to help with daily tasks such as eating or travelling. This is sometimes referred to as habilitation support.
