About Me

I am 19 years old and go to school in Borås. I have assistance around the clock, except during school hours. Personal assistance for me is not primarily about care, but about me being able to live my life the way I want.

I like to be active – my assistants and I enjoy going out and doing things, taking long walks, listening to music, and meeting people. I also often train in the pool, which I find both fun and beneficial for me.

I am very social and communicative, but I do not speak and therefore need help interpreting and communicating in meetings with people who do not know me. I use a wheelchair and need assistance with transfers, dressing, feeding, and all personal hygiene.

Application

You are welcome to complement your application with a video response where you answer some introductory questions – this is completely voluntary but very appreciated.
