Meet the person you’ll be supporting – 20’s female
Who am I? I am a fun, sociable young lady in my 20’s.
Likes: I like to feel involved and included in my care, I like my staff to be fun, kind and sociable, I thrive on a cheerful environment, but do enjoy calm time too.

What challenges do I have? I have cerebral palsy and severe learning/communication difficulties which means I can become anxious and bite my hand.
What are my aspirations?

What activities do I do? I love music, dancing, water play, swimming, and being out in the community, I also enjoy people watching.
What types of people do I get along with? People who are kind and fun are important to me, I want a warm welcome and lots of smiles to feel safe and cared for.
Meet the person you’ll be supporting – 17 year old female

Likes: Meaningful sensory experiences are important to my happiness and wellbeing. I enjoy activities that help me relax and feel content, such as bubble baths, swimming, hydrotherapy, sensory play, listening to music, and spending time outdoors in the sunshine. I particularly enjoy music, especially Taylor Swift and musical soundtracks, and I respond positively to calming sounds and familiar voices.
What challenges do I have? I have diagnoses of Neuronal Migration Defect and congenital CMV infection, epilepsy (currently well managed), increased muscle tone affecting all four limbs, and I am PEG‑fed. I am a full‑time wheelchair user and require support with all aspects of my daily care and mobility.
What are my aspirations? My life goals are centred around living a safe, comfortable, and fulfilling life where my health needs are consistently met and I am supported to experience enjoyment, connection, and emotional wellbeing.
What types of people do I get along with? I value positive social interaction and one‑to‑one attention from people who engage with me, talk to me, and include me in activities, even though I am non‑verbal.
