Sensability Supporting Adults with Severe Learning Disabilities We are a local community group formed to help support Adults with Severe Learning Disabilities.

We are based in LARC (Lisburn Adult Resource Centre) premises on Wallace Avenue and our group is run by a team of volunteers. We aim to raise awareness of our group by holding regular outreach sessions for Parents/Carers and their young adults, in the familiar and accessible environment of LARC. We want to provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where parents and carers can get together and talk to like minded people who truly understand their day to day challenges. A vital part of our outreach is to support and value these families so that they can live safe, well and fulfilled lives within our community.

We are a small local charity so it is humbling to receive so much support from other local groups such as Larchfield Community Development Association. We’ve not been given the official total yet, but word is - you’ve all got big generous hearts and emptied your pockets for our cause 🥰

So great to have our deputy Mayor - Councillor Aaron McIntyre support our fundraising and show such an interest in getting to know more about the families we support.

‼️ HELP ‼️ Please SHARE 🩵 Brilliant response so far please keeping sharing our post. We have a voice and together we can push for change ⬇️

Parents and carers in Northern Ireland, we want to hear from you.

If you have a child or young person with special educational needs or a disability, and you have dealt with a Health and Social Care Trust about them, please take three minutes to tell us how that went.

The survey is anonymous. We do not ask for your name, your email address, or anything that could identify you or your child. It asks what you were told, whether different professionals said different things, whether referrals actually happened, and whether you felt able to raise a concern without it affecting your child's care.

It is open to every family, whether your child is at school now or left school years ago. What happened in the past counts just as much as what is happening today.

Everything families tell us will be brought together so that these experiences are on the record, rather than treated as one-off cases.

Please share this post. The more families who take part, the harder this is to ignore.
