About the Client:
I am a wonderful 12-year-old boy living with my mom, dad, and siblings in a house with good bus connections, so a driver's license is not a requirement.
A large and important part of my life is being outdoors, regardless of the weather, which makes me feel good. Therefore, you must wear weather-appropriate clothing while working with me. I can walk short distances if you help hold me, and like all 12-year-olds, I enjoy fun and play.
You will be my extended arms and legs. I am unsteady, so I need your help with all movements, assistance with personal hygiene, support during mealtimes, and help during my motor skills and communication training, as I do not communicate verbally. I have epilepsy and a self-harming behavior that you need to be aware of, and you may need a dose of patience as I sometimes make sounds!
I am quick and strong, so you need to be physically fit, attentive, and possess a large amount of patience.
If you give yourself and me the time to get to know each other, we will become a great team, and you will have a rewarding, meaningful, and enjoyable job!
