Alexander recently joined CEDA with a mixture of sessions including 1:1 support out in the community. It is noticeable that having 1:1 support out in the community particularly benefits Alexander – he’s been going on public transport, scanning his bus pass, saying hello to the public & making connections. He enjoys swimming, shopping and cooking, all of which help to develop his life skills, support his wellbeing, and encourage his independence. In addition, some of Alexander’s 1:1 support has been used to attend his farm sessions for work experience. There has been so much engagement and enjoyment in doing the activities (brushing the ponies, feeding the goats, painting the fence, weeding, etc.), the impact of having 1:1 support really has made a difference for Alexander and his skills and independence are flourishing.
