Some of the individuals have very limited communication so they would use boards to convey their thoughts. Colleagues need to work with the people we support to complete all aspects of day-to-day support including personal care, support with cooking, cleaning tasks, support with medication and finances, supporting people into the community, providing emotional support, finding new activities and opportunities.
