JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a very lively and bubbly 7-year-old boy living in the Penygraig area. I love like fun and silly activities, I enjoy 1:1 interaction I have lots of interest and hobbies including watching alphabet songs on the TV and on my IPAD. I also attend Fuze weekly, Polar Bear Swimming lessons and enjoy going to role play lane. I like going outside to beach and for walks. I also have a playroom so you can play with me in house as my mammy can help my older brother.
I have Autism, Global Development Delay, and sensory processing Disorder and suspected pica. I am non-verbal but I will communicate through sounds and gestures, I can make sounds to some of my favourite songs.
I don’t like loud noises. I like my own space as sometimes to everything gets to much for me, I can get overstimulated. I don’t see any danger around me or to myself, I will need high levels of supervision as I put things in my mouth that shouldn’t go in there. I love to play but again will need supervision as I fall over (flat footed, and low muscle tone) sometimes and I tend to run off if you don’t hold my hand I will run out onto the road.
I need to be in a car seat when I’m in your car I can kick out at seat is its too loud in the car. I like to have something to play with in the car like strings or mammy have used a bobble before. Mammy puts me behind the passenger seat as no one sits there. I do pull hair and climb up you to gain attention. I need meaningful interactions and supervision for me to feel calm and feel safe.
I get to much for mammy as I’m jealous of my older brother medical needs as he gets more attention than me that make me sad and angry and I display behaviours like pulling hair, biting, climbing on people. This is just looking for attention and meaningful interactions my brother is also loud and I can dysregulate me before I even come out.
