A perspective from a colleague and parent, on the special schools eye care service: https://t.co/ofFdFlI3Xy

As a parent of a child with disabilities, she shares the transformative impact of accessible eye tests in special schools.

Every child deserves an equal right to sight!

[SeeAbility @SeeAbility]

Support with sight is a human right.

@mrscottwatkin isn’t beating around the bush.

He’s worried that yrs of work @NHSEngland is being written off & 1000s of children with learning disabilities will miss out on the eye care they need

I’ve seen the difference this service makes to children’s lives, many of whom would not otherwise have access to eye care. If you value equality and improving quality of life for all, please consider signing this petition.

As Chancellor, @Jeremy_Hunt is at last in position to act on his strongly-stated conviction that #socialcare requires an additional £7bn funding each year. Local authorities, providers, careworkers and people who draw on services will be waiting. https://t.co/d0KVAXpK4N

[Siobhain McDonagh @Siobhain_Mc]

Such an incredibly important service for disabled children in all special schools. Vital that it continues!

[Special Needs Jungle @SpcialNdsJungle]

On SNJ: @Aylee78 of @SeeAbility asks why does @NHSEngland seem to be breaking a pledge to provide #eyetesting to #disabledchildren in all #SpecialSchools. Introduced by @TaniaLT:

Straight after our key speaker Louisa Wickham finished her session on stage at the #NOC22 we spoke to her about her new role. We started by asking her what success would look like.

@LOCSU Absolutely brilliant to hear Louisa talking about addressing inequalities in eye health and the importance of sharing the good work that is going on. We look forward to working with you Louisa @SeeAbility already the NHS Special Schools Eye Care Service is doing just that!

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Just a quick thumbs up to my mate @bryanederymusic, some of you may remember his online pandemic piano bar for @SeeAbility (helps people with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss) - he's very excited to get to go to Buckingham Palace with them tonight :)

Many disabled children are at higher risk of developing eye problems, so it's vital to ensure they get regular checks.
