Relief Personal Assistant to Child

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 9-year-old boy who is very affectionate and caring, I attend river Bank school in Ely. I am non –verbal and I have Autism, ADHD and a learning disability. I need support with my Personal Care and looking after myself. I am usually a happy laughing boy but can get upset at times, and unsettled as I find it hard to express my feelings but once you get to know to and understand me I am fine.

My hobbies are painting, drawing, water play, and being outdoors especially walking and the park. I require two carers to look after me and keep me safe at all times.

To keep me safe at all times, and take care of me. Take me out in the community, to help me access all the things I love to do and enjoy. I do use a McLaren Buggy, which helps keep me safe and stops me from running off as I am unaware of dangers.
