Summary
I am a young boy who has Down's Syndrome and sensory needs. I like going to the park and anything to do with transportation and music. I am very friendly and sociable but I need one to one support as I have little awareness of danger. I am looking for someone who is patient, kind, enthusiastic and able to work well to maintain a level of consistency. Previous experience of working with children with additional needs preferred.
