Caring PA wanted for our young son with profound physical and learning disabilities caused by a chromosome deletion. He has an extremely rare condition called SOX2 syndrome which caused him to be born without eyes. Despite the challenges he faces, our son is a very happy, sociable child with a wonderful personality and an infectious smile. Loves music and responds enthusiastically to different sounds, songs and sensory experiences. He also enjoys movement and benefits from activities that provide opportunities for physical engagement and stimulation. He thrives on positive interaction and enjoys spending time with people who are warm, patient enthusiastic, requires support with all aspects of daily living and is looking for a carer who is compassionate, reliable and committed to helping him with his morning routine.
