History
Sense was founded in 1955 as a self-help and support group for the parents of children whose disabilities were neither recognised nor provided for, children born deafblind as a result of their mothers catching rubella in pregnancy. It has since built a worldwide reputation for pioneering work by campaigning vigorously for change and setting up services wherever they are needed.
