Client Bio:
This lively, affectionate individual is looking for a caregiver who can keep up with his energy while providing steady, compassionate support. The caregiver will assist him both at home and out in the community, encouraging socialization and helping him enjoy favorite activities such as music, singing, sensory play, swinging, spinning, water activities, and video stories. He also loves food, fruit chews, school buses, friends, his sibling, and time spent with people who care about him.
He has a playful sense of humor, a contagious laugh, and a strong need for routine. To support him successfully, the caregiver should be calm, patient, and attentive, with the ability to “speak his language,” understand his schedule, and ensure safety at all times — including using his vehicle safety device for escape-risk behaviors.
Experience with higher behaviors is essential, and OIS training is preferred (or willingness to complete it). The caregiver will also provide personal care assistance and help him stay engaged, safe, and included in the world around him.
