Description

Sighted children watch others and learn. Children who are blind or partially sighted often need to be taught basic skills and concepts that develop naturally in sighted children.

The Council is looking for an organisation to provide support for visually impaired children, helping them to develop movement, orientation and independence skills alongside their sighted friends.

'Habilitation' is the process of helping visually impaired children and young people to achieve as much independence as possible in their daily lives. We need the successful organisation to provide personalised training and support in mobility, orientation and independence skills.

In order to deliver life changing mobility and independence we are seeking the services of Habilitation Specialists who are qualified to meet the Habilitation Quality Standards published by the Department for Education.
