Do you have room in your life (and home) for a boy with intellectual disabilities?

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Albany

A 19yr old who loves all things sensory, fun and active is looking to build a relationship with a local family where he can stay overnight eventually. Although 19, he has a developmental age like that of preschooler/early primary school children and physical appearance of around 12 yrs. A young family with children of similar ages would be ideal as he loves playing games of this age group (primary school age). This is an amazing opportunity to bring a sense of personal well-being and fulfilment to your life and his. He is looking for a caring, loving, understanding and supportive family and in return he will bring lots of laughs and joy to your household. A placid and gentle person he loves trampolining, bird watching, dancing, music, going to the beach or the park. He loves being outside so a garden that is fenced would be great. He loves days out or just hanging at your place, whichever suits you and your family. He has a unique style of communication using an Ipad to talk, which you can learn to use too. He will need full supervision, and you need to be comfortable with changing nappies. Starting with a monthly/fortnightly weekend day care increasing to overnight respite care once a month or so, giving everyone time to get to know each other. No experience necessary just a kind and caring heart. Mum and dad will be on call if necessary. Potential employees will be subject to reference and police checks.
