The Role

About the Child
Rowen is a loving, happy 6‑year‑old who enjoys water play, being outdoors, soft play and watching Peppa Pig. He is autistic, non-verbal, and has a global developmental delay. Rowen requires full support with personal care and wears nappy pants. He communicates using AAC and PECS and can become dysregulated when communication is difficult or when overwhelmed, particularly by sudden noises. Safe movement breaks or screen time help him regulate.
