A little about myself:
I am a young teenage boy who has Downs Syndrome and learning difficulties living in Gorseinon. I am looking for 2 PAs to support me. I move quickly and require a lot of attention when someone is looking after me as I can be determined to do things that are not always in my best interests (or other peoples for that matter)! Because of this I would require someone who is energetic but patient to meet my needs. I love going to the park and beach. Buzz trampoline park or the cinema are other favourites of mine. If you have a dog, then that would make my day as I love meeting dogs when I am out and about. I enjoy going out for food – anywhere that has garlic bread or McDonalds. I am very friendly and sociable with a big personality, but I need support as I have little awareness of danger. I am verbal and make my needs known.
