Access to eye care

Hi, I work for the charity SeeAbility and we're doing some new research looking at people with learning disabilities and autism experiences of getting a sight test, glasses and help at the opticians. Really keen to know if people feel they are having reasonable adjustments made and getting the eye care they need as we think these will be the first national surveys on this subject. I can send anyone a survey for free - my contact details are at www.seeability.org/surveys (they are online too).
Here's a bit more of the blurb below
Would you help us promote our new eye care surveys?
SeeAbility’s national surveys will help us all understand if people with learning disabilities are getting good help to look after their eyes. We want to make sure eye care services are the best they can be for people with learning disabilities. We’ll be putting all the findings into a report we’ll launch in the spring of 2016. SeeAbility is the national charity that works with people with sight loss and multiple disabilities.
To help we have two surveys:
1) One for parents of children with learning disabilities who are under 14
2) An easy read survey for anyone who is 14 and over. They are both online, but also downloadable to print and send back to us for free.
But we can also send copies to anyone who needs them.
They are anonymous so no-one has to worry about what they say.
