SeeAbility’s free functional vision assessment tool
Please see the link below to the SeeAbility latest Newsletter.
This includes a Functional Vision Assessment (FVA) tool that is an ideal resource to help find out useful information about a person’s vision.
The tool is easy to use and can be used with adults or children.
It is intended to be used by supporters of people with learning disabilities who know that person well, such as family carers and support staff.
Check out the PCF events coming soon.

On May 14th, 2025, families, professionals, and local leaders came together at the Holiday Inn, Ellesmere Port for our “Preparation for Adulthood” (PfA) event. This pivotal day focused on ensuring that young people with SEND have the right support, from the early teenage years through to adult life.
Last week, we welcomed Rhiannon Gogh—carer, Chartered Financial Adviser, and founder of the Carers Academy—to lead a powerful webinar on financial planning for parent carers.
In May 2024, we published the results of our latest Parent Carer Survey — and what we heard was powerful. Families told us, once again, that the system is still not working for them. Communication, co-production, and access to timely support remain major challenges. But this time, something shifted.
