PA required to support a 13 yr old by with Autism in LS14 area of Leeds - £12.40p/h - Leeds - LS14
Job Reference (869cd055)
Larry is 13 years old, & has autism and ADHD. He is very active and requires support to develop his social skills. A PA will support Larry with this by building up relationships, spending time with him in the family home and then venture out into the community. This would give mum time to reset and would also help Larry gain some form of independence from mum, & for the PA to provide 1:1 support for Larry to support him to access activities he enjoys. Larry will never be fully independent due to his needs but if we can bring some quality time to Larry via a PA, then mum is going to discover quality time for herself so she can recharge and continue supporting her family.
