I have a permanent tracheostomy, which requires regular suctioning. I also have epilepsy which is controlled. I attend specialist education, and my support workers accompany me to school, and I get out in the community with my adapted vehicle, which I love. I live with my family in a rented accommodation in Cheshire, I will move to my forever home in the future. I will eventually live at two locations as my parents will have shared custody of me.
