Scottish Sensory Centre

The Mission of the Scottish Sensory Centre (SSC) is to foster educational, research and development activities for young people.

The Mission of the Scottish Sensory Centre (SSC) is to foster educational, research and development activities relating to children and young people with a sensory impairment in Scotland. As a national and internationally respected centre we aim to:
• Support the Scottish Government by embracing the values of ‘Getting it Right for Every
Child’, developing the young workforce by promoting the principles of Curriculum for
Excellence.
• Proactively work with parents, teachers and other professionals to offer high quality and
relevant professional development activities that will enhance their knowledge and understanding of issues relating to sensory impairment; this information will assist them to adapt and adopt resources and strategies which improve young people’s achievements, attainments and life chances and promote positive destinations.
• Participate in and promote the exchange and dissemination of specialist knowledge via the Scottish Sensory Centre information and advisory services and provide a hub for other organisations by contributing to and taking forward specialist professional networking.
