Who will I be supporting? 

  • A young man in his mid-twenties who is supported to live independently
  • He likes being out and about in the car, loves a decaf coffee, and watching YouTube videos on his tablet
  • He also loves musical toys, especially his barney and scout the dog!
  • He goes to college 5 days a week and his routine is very important to him
  • He has a learning disability, epilepsy, autism and can display behaviours of distress
  • He doesn’t use words to communicate but he is able to make his needs known
