He uses a specialist buggy or harness for trips outside as he struggles to walk far, and for his own safety, he has a specialist helmet that he wears intermittently. The young person loves music and dance which is also used to support with his meltdowns when they arise, and he loves visiting places that have horses as he has a real love of them.

Dakota is a very loving and caring 9 -year-old girl who loves chase and tickle games. Dakota has lots of energy, loves to be on the go and loves interacting with others. Dakota is a very outgoing little girl who loves going for walks, the beach, swimming, soft play, and trampolining. She loves to interact with her peers and hates to see anybody upset. If she sees somebody upset, she will try and comfort them, ask if they’re okay and will try to tickle them to make them laugh. Dakota doesn’t have much sense of danger and always needs supervision, especially near roads or traffic. She can be quite stubborn if she’s going somewhere she doesn’t want to and will protest if she doesn’t like it.

Ideally, she would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of working with disabled children.
