Help for people with learning difficulties to look after their sight
There was an excellent presentation at yesterday’s Learning Difficulties Partnership Board on the help that is available.
Many people with learning difficulties do not know how to look after their eyes, nor whether they can get help about this.
Stephen Kill at West Sussex County Council is responsible for helping adults with learning difficulties to look after their sight and wants to do more work this year about eye care and even start to help people look after their hearing.
Although the County Council and voluntary groups know of many of the people who can be helped in this way, there could be many others for whom there are no records. If you know of a person in West Sussex with learning difficulties with sight or hearing problems who does not know what to do about them, contact Stephen Kill for advice.
Stephen can be contacted on 01903 745331, stephen.kill@westsussex.gov.uk or via his website, www.lookupinfo.org
