Standing Out and Fitting In

Marginalised, isolated, dreading going to school - welcome to life for a 14-year-old with dual sensory loss. Vulnerable due to their deafblindness, these children find their challenges compounded by a lack of understanding from teachers and peers, and an absence of support provision from local authorities. Deaflblind UK aim to change that through an innovative research project conducted in schools that will enhance understanding of dual sensory loss.

Generation Science 2022

This project will help to improve primary science education for children in the most deprived areas of Scotland, providing opportunities they would not normally get to experience fun, engaging science workshops and shows that increase understanding, enthusiasm and awareness of science as it affects their everyday lives.
