Oliwer is a lovely 10-year-old twin to his sister Wiktoria. He lives with his mum and dad and siblings in Benwell, the family also have a lovely labrador dog. The twins were born very prematurely which has left Oliwer with learning difficulties and high functioning Autism. Oliwer struggles with communicating effectively; however, lately he has begun to string words together to make short sentences, and he will repeat your dialogue when communicating.
Oliwer relies on a buggy when he goes out into the community, but recently mum has been encouraging short walks without the use of a buggy. He can manage the toilet himself most of the time; however, he does require some personal care with some toileting tasks. Oliwer loves pizza and chips, it’s his favourite “go to” food; he also enjoys trips to McDonalds on occasion. He manages to eat and drink independently.
He is a very caring little boy and quite protective of his sister; however, he does not like to spend all his time with her and prefers to engage in his own activities. He loves YouTube, especially “Handy Manny” songs. Oliwer can speak both Polish and English when he communicates, and both languages are used in the family home.
Oliwer is looking for a PA who can assist him in accessing the community where he would like to engage in activities like swimming, soft play, and the Tim Lamb Centre. He does enjoy a visit to the Alan Shearer Centre too when he gets the opportunity.
