I am an 8 year old girl living at home with my mum, dad and 3 sisters.
I am a very social person and love being around people.
I like to do the same things most 8 year olds like to do, but I need support with those activities.
I like playing in my garden on my swing and trampoline.I also like getting out and about to places like the park, the swimming pool, soft play centres and the shops.
I enjoy going on my bike, and I enjoy trying new experiences and challenges. I also like quiet time and watching TV, reading books, jigsaws etc.I have diagnosis of cerebral palsy. When I'm indoors I can walk around independently, but when I am outdoors I may need more support. When outdoors on hard surfaces I would need my PA to hold my hand. This is for safety and to stop me falling over and potentially hurting myself.
I have epilepsy and I may need lifesaving medication for when I do go into a seizure. Training will be provided to be able to deliver this.
I use different ways to communicate. I have some words but mainly use Makaton and my communication device. I would like my PA to use Makaton and help me with my device - training can be provided.
