SENSORY LOSS

A sensory loss is a disability affecting the senses (e.g. sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste).
As 95% of the information we gather about the world around us comes from our sight and hearing, a sensory impairment can hinder a person’s ability to gather information about the world.
If you or a loved one suffers from sensory loss, you will benefit from receiving Sensory Disability Support. This is a condition for which our sensory loss support is designed, so we can assist you. Our entire team is trained to provide you with all the assistance you require as you navigate life with this condition. In addition to allowing you to continue living in the comfort of your own home, our in-home care services allow you to maintain your independence. It is unquestionably something you should consider, and our support plans are tailored to each individual.

Our solid family values and friendly specialists offer you and your loved ones peace of mind and unmatched support for other medical conditions, such as Spinal Injuries Care, Outpatient Care, Motor Neuron Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Mental Illness Care, Heart Condition Care, Dementia Care, and Arthritis Care. At SupportNest Disability Services, we customise our services to meet your or a loved one’s unique requirements. We specialise in assisting people of diverse cultural, linguistic, and ethnic backgrounds.

Types of Sensory Disorders

Almost everyone has encountered someone with sensory disorders, whether they are aware of it or not. Some types of sensory disabilities are more apparent than others, as those who live with them may not exhibit obvious signs of their condition. A person with a sensory disability may have varying degrees of impairment that require varying degrees of support, regardless of the presence or absence of obvious signs.
There are four primary types of sensory issues that everyone should be familiar with. Autism spectrum disorder, blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, and sensory processing disorder are these conditions. There are distinct symptoms associated with each type of sensory disability, but some individuals may experience overlap.

If you or a loved one experience sensory disabilities or impairments, SupportNest Disability Services is well-equipped to help you manage your disability and find productive solutions that minimise the impact on your community participation and access to society’s resources.

Depending on the specific type of sensory disability, the causes of sensory loss are extremely diverse. They can be congenital, meaning a person is born with them due to a genetic mutation or maternal illness; they can be genetic, meaning an alteration in genetic material causes the impairment; they can be metabolic, meaning a chronic illness or lifestyle-related cause impairs a person’s senses; or they can be the result of a physical injury that impairs a person’s senses. Regardless of the specific cause of a person’s sensory impairment, they all have one thing in common: impaired neurological function.
Depending on a person’s sensory disability and the specific needs that may arise to accommodate it, there are a variety of resources available, such as professional support, therapy, and devices that can enhance their quality of life. People with Autism Spectrum Disorder frequently benefit from therapy and assistive devices that allow them to participate fully in society. To increase their access potential, individuals with blindness or vision loss and deafness or hearing loss may use specialised devices and require professional or carer support. People with sensory processing disorder can frequently benefit from therapy and support, though some recent technological advancements may also be advantageous.

Whatever your or a loved one’s needs, SupportNest Disability Services will work with you to identify your priorities and find the appropriate solutions that will enable you to achieve the desired quality of life.

Everyday, we use our senses to comprehend the world around us, but for a person with a sensory disability, this can be challenging. A sensory loss disability affects a person’s senses or spatial awareness and may cause the individual to perceive sensory inputs differently than others. This can hinder a person’s ability to engage in daily activities and interact with others in a variety of settings.
