About the Employer

 

Our Son has been diagnosed with ASD and learning difficulties and is awaiting an ADHD diagnosis at the moment.

He is a lively active boy who enjoys getting out and about in the community visiting places or playing with lego or computer games at home. 

We need a PA for 4 hours per week in school time and at 6 hours in school holidays to get to know him and either spend time with him at home or take him out and about keep him safe and help him enjoy himself.

He loves trains and swimming visiting farms and museums.

He struggles with large crowds, and loud noises at times and does panic around dogs and insects. He also needs reminders around keeping safe when out and needs support with this.
