PA for 13 years old boy to help him to access social activities in Roundhay in Leeds (LS8)
£12.70 per hour (gross) at all times with 5.6 weeks pro rata holidays
We are advertising this personal assistant role for our 13 years old son, who has diagnosis of Autism, for 4 hours per week plus an additional 2 in school holidays. Hours can be arranged in advance with parents to provide greater flexibility. Initially the PA will build a relationship in the home and then start to access the community with him. Likes trips to the park and trampolining.
How he communicates He uses some words and short sentence to communicate my wants and needs. He is good at using visuals like my choice board and aided language displays – make sure he gains an adult’s attention prior to initiating communication. He is gestalt processing so sometimes my phrases don’t match what he means, learns through modelling. He will need supervision all the time, as he does not have any awareness of danger.
Things he likes:
* Playgrounds
* Intensive interaction
* Trampoline
* Swimming
Things he does not like:
* Loud noises
* Other children upset
* People in my personal space
* Physical touch from unfamiliar adults
I need reminding to look before crossing the road and I have no sense of danger.
