Support for Deaf people
If you are deaf, there is help available from our Sensory Service.
We support and promote the independence and wellbeing of Deaf adults who are sign language users or have other specialised communication needs.
How can the Sensory Service help me?
Our service will:
- inform of specialist community support available for Deaf people in Luton
- liaise with and refer to other agencies providing support
Based on your individual situation, our service may be able to provide information, training, referrals and some equipment such as:
- vibrating pager systems to alert you to the doorbell, telephone, smoke alarms and baby monitors
- other specialist equipment to enable and promote independence
- referral to the fire service for smoke detectors
How do I get help from the Sensory Service?
So that we can work out which services will be the most suitable for you, we need to look at your individual situation. We call this an ‘assessment of care needs’.
