Peripatetic Visual Impairment Service

Specialist teachers work with children and young people, from 0 to 19, who have a diagnosed visual impairment.

The service provides habilitation officers to:

  • help children and young people move safely around their school
  • support travel to and from school
  • teach skills to help them be aware of the environment and how to navigate around it 

Referrals are mainly received from ophthalmology clinics, hospitals and health professionals, though parents and teachers can also refer children to the service.
