A Personal Assistant (P.A.) is required in the Leeds area (Rothwell) to support a young boy aged 12 who has a diagnosis of Autism, social and communication difficulties, sensory processing, a knee problem (affecting mobility) and ADHD, in accessing local community activities.
He requires support with personal care needs, for example, he has limited dietary intake (consistent with ARFID), he needs to follow a plan to meet his nutritional needs. He needs prompting with meeting personal hygiene needs (reminders to shower, brush teeth, change clothing, wear deodorant, get hair cuts etc). Guidance on wearing appropriate clothing and footwear for the activity/weather. He needs assistance with maintaining his emotional regulation.
He is a happy verbal (selective mutism in certain situations) boy, with a pleasant disposition and likes gaming, music, dim lights, going to local parks (for racket sports), short walks, the cinema and the gym. He needs assistance to explore new social activities (e.g. museums, science museum etc) but is reluctant because he likes routine. He needs opportunities to socialize and make new friends, although he may not necessarily agree with this statement.
He wants to try skiing. He must be closely supervised at all times due to his tendency of running off, potential challenging behaviours, and having no sense of danger and road safety etc.
