Summary
A caring and supportive personal assistant is required for a happy and lively 7-year-old boy living in the Bodmin area.
He has Downs Syndrome and autism, and he would like someone who he can build up a positive relationship with and provide him with some 1:1 support. He is a wheelchair user and uses this as his sole mobility method when out of the family home.
He would like someone to support him with his communication and social skills out in the community. He loves being outdoors. His interests are swimming, quiet soft play and going to play parks. He enjoys watching BabyTV at home.
