The main objective of this service is to help people aged between 18 and 64 who have a physical disability or sensory impairment to maintain their independence and continue living in their own homes and communities.
We aim to help remove the barriers which stand in the way of people with disabilities pursuing their chosen lifestyle by providing a range of services, support and advice to help them live as independently as possible in their own home.
Services include:
- Deaf Support Service
- Sight Support Service
- Physical Disability Day Centres
- Community Acquired Brain Injury Service
- Mourne Project
- Physical Disability Social Work Service
Additional Services
We also provide services to help anyone who cares for a person with a disability. You can find this information in the carers section of the website.
As part of our Mental Health Services, the Northern Ireland Mental Health & Deafness Service provides assessment and care for profoundly Deaf adults with complex Mental Health needs.
