He loves being outdoors and staying active and needs support in the community to help keep him safe and to enjoy these activities alongside someone who can engage positively with him. At present, due to periods of challenging behaviour and becoming easily over-stimulated, support is mainly required within the home, helping to keep him entertained with activities such as baking, crafts, and play.
