Meet Our Client

Singing and engaging with sensory toys, especially those with buttons, bring him endless entertainment and stimulation. He enjoys school and looks forward to his daily taxi rides and car journeys. He also loves exploring the outdoors on walks with his care team. Your role will be to support him after school, engaging in therapeutic play, guiding his evening routine for restful sleep, and managing his clinical care needs with care and expertise.
