About The Employer
Our son is 17 years old, he is a happy, laid-back individual. He likes to play on the floor with toys, watch his iPad and to sing and dance. He has a learning disability, and he recently has suffered a stroke which has left him with a physical disability. He is adapting after the stroke and is re-learning to communicate and feed himself which is going quite well. He needs support with all personal care, feeding and other day to day activities. He will also need support from his PA to support him with re learning tasks e.g., using a spoon to feed himself and other tasks requiring fine dexterity. Our son is looking to explore the local community and engage in activities suited to his abilities, including days out to the park, or beach and maybe trips to specialist centres that have play equipment our son can access.
