Meet Our Client

An 18-year-old young man with a big personality and a love for music, particularly pop stars such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Little Mix. Music plays a huge part in his day and he enjoys listening to a variety of songs, but these artists are his firm favourites.

He also loves sensory experiences and enjoys having his lights and other sensory lighting on.

At home, he likes to relax by watching various programmes including Numberjacks, Teletubbies, LazyTown, Bluey and The Little Mermaid.

He thrives on interaction and really enjoys having someone who will talk to him, engage with him and give him their full attention.

During school holidays, you'll help him enjoy his time by getting out and about in the community and taking part in the activities he loves.
