Kirsty Corbett recently visited Harrison's Hub at Pride Park for CamTAD's Sensory Advice Day, a dedicated free drop-in event supporting individuals living with hearing and sight loss, alongside their families, carers, and members of the local community.
This vital community event, which brought together special services and professionals to provide independent living advice, communication support, and accessibility guidance.
The team speaks with CamTAD about the importance of the day, highlighting the various assistive technology and equipment demonstrations available to attendees.
The conversation also explores the realities of hearing loss as a hidden disability, noting that while society automatically provides physical ramps for wheelchairs, it often overlooks the essential need for hearing loops or accessible communication.
They also discuss CamTAD's future plans for 2027, which involve taking their services on the road with mobile units and local clinics to ensure everyone across Derby has easy access to the sensory support they deserve.
