The support is different each day and you will be there to support with all aspects of what adulthood looks like. He will need some support with personal care and someone who can offer support and guidance.
He is a keen gamer, enjoys walking his dogs and watching his favourite shows on the TV and he loves to get out and about, so you will need to be a driver who is confident enough to drive the Motability vehicle that is provided.
