Special Visit at Crosshill from South Ayrshire Sensory Impairment Team!

Last week 1st Crosshill had a visit from the lovely Karen and Elaine from the South Ayrshire Sensory Impairment Team – the girls learned lots about things that can be done to help people with sight or hearing loss! The girls got to try different glasses which replicate different sight impairments, and had to try to butter bread with a high and low contrast chopping board. They also got to try out liquid level indicators, and learned about other devices and services available to support those with sensory loss. They also learned how to be a responsible sighted guide, and found out about support that is available in our area for anyone with vision or hearing loss.

Thank you Karen and Elaine for piloting this brilliant session with us 🥰
