Will you give children like Elliot the best gift of all?

Elliot came to Sense with profound hearing loss, very limited vision and no means of communicating with those around him.

Imagine being unable to express when you are in pain, hungry, or to tell your family you love them. For Elliot, like so many other deafblind children and their families, this can be a reality.

Luckily, Elliot came to Sense. Our staff were able to provide him a specialist assessment and with this knowledge Sense was able to develop an individual communication plan which helped Elliot and his family learn how to communicate.

Elliot no longer lives in a world of silence or darkness.

In fact, since coming to Sense, Elliot has discovered a love for toys that have levers to pull and also loves books about animals. He is particularly fond of his mum making signs for all the animals with his hands.

You can help give another deafblind child like Elliot the best gift of all. A donation of just £3 can help children like Elliot make the journey from his world – and into ours.
