Disability Support Mentor

 

I have five years experience as a support worker employed privately and by agencies providing clients with transportation, social outings, medication and personal care.

 

In 2016 I was acknowledged for helping my client raise the quality of his life. His eyesight and mobility were extremely compromised. I helped him remove numerous obstacles which improved his personal care aiding his freedom of movement and enriching his social suitability.

​

I also worked for an italian family assisting them with their intellectually challenged son. I introduced healthier food options and arranged social activities to suit his interests. A fresh routine expanded his understanding, boosted confidence, developed better social skills and aided his speech therapy sessions.

​

Additionally, I volunteered facilitating weekly musical sessions for people with disabilities.

​

My services can administer various training sessions to improve client’s intellectual capabilities and personal development.
