This article highlights an element of complexity in provision of services for people with sensory disability that doesn't have the same level of prevelance in people with mobility or intellectual disability, that of ageing. Sensory disability and ageing are positively corelated, that is the older the demographic, the higher the level of sensory disability. Thus sensory disability exists at an intersection between disability and ageing services. It also means that all the fancy new tech that is shared here often and many of us are enthusiastic about is difficult for the bulk of the client base to use because with age learning new things or changing long established habits is more difficult comparatively to a younger person.

I'm not fond of policy making by petition, but I wish the RSB luck none the less (I myself received an email as part of this campaign this morning).
