Living life on our terms – We choose how we spend our time and love getting out and about in our car, making the most of every moment.
Staying connected – Communication with our families is really important. For two of us, our support team is our family, and we rely on them for emotional and practical support.
Enjoying meaningful activities – Whether it’s exploring the community or trying something new, we believe in living the best life possible.
Keeping to routines – Structure helps us thrive, and we appreciate support workers who understand and respect that.
Kindness above all – We get along with anyone who’s kind, respectful, and supportive of our needs. Encouragement to try new adventures is always welcome!
