Our specialisms

At SeeAbility we pride ourselves in our in-house specialist support team. We are one of the only providers in the country to offer a dedicated team of experts, covering positive behaviour support, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and vision rehabilitation.

We're equipped to support people with the most complex support needs. These specialists enable the people we support to access the vital support they need, as soon as they need it.

Our approach is responsive and truly person focused, working with the people we support to help them reach the ambitious aims that they themselves want to achieve. This can mean supporting someone with anxiety from a secure hospital to joining a local boxing club, or enabling someone who's unable to speak to communicate for the first time using an iPad, or even helping someone to walk after years of only using a wheelchair.

Through this dedicated and highly specialist approach, the people we support are able to overcome some of lifes most extraordinary challenges.
