Kevin, 19, is autistic and recently began studying at college. To help him prepare for his transition from school to college, we provided reablement support through travel training. This included planning his route, accompanying him on practice runs, and addressing any “what if” scenarios. Because of this support, Kevin became confident about travelling to the city centre. Instead of worrying about how he was going to get to college, he could focus on his studies.
During lockdown, Kevin found it challenging to keep in touch and maintain his relationships with friends. The Wellbeing Support Workers helped by signing him up for Zoom and social media platforms, enabling him to connect with his friends virtually.
Kevin also loved exercising, so Wellbeing Support Worker Marc, who had previous experience in fitness and nutrition, trained with him three times a week. Kevin and Marc enjoyed cooking nutritious meals together and recently perfected five staple recipes for Kevin to cook on his own.
Through this comprehensive support, Kevin not only managed his transition to college successfully but also maintained his social connections and developed his independence and life skills. This holistic approach ensured Kevin could live his life to the fullest, focusing on his interests and education with confidence.
