Sensory Support
Help with visual and hearing difficulties
Treloar College is an inclusive environment. We’re keen that our students with a hearing or visual impairment don’t have to face additional challenges in class, around the site or in their hall of residence.
Support for students with a visual impairment
Our visual impairment adviser (who is also a state registered orthoptist) works on site one or two days a week. Among other things they:
- Carry out visual assessments, including help to understand your visual impairment and working out ways to manage it
- Provide low vision aids such as magnification systems and reading scanners or adapted computers
- Liaise with external ophthalmologists, other ophthalmic specialists and the College Health Centre staff on your behalf
- Support students with a hearing impairment
We also have a hearing impairment adviser who:
- Carries out hearing tests
- Works with teaching staff on audio loop and other facilities to ensure you can fully participate in lessons
- Works with care and facilities staff to ensure background noise levels are managed with your needs in mind
- Liaises with specialists in your home area regarding hearing equipment
