In this role, you will take on the position of a personal assistant to a young person with a disability that requires extensive and structured support in daily life. For the client to feel secure, it is crucial to have clear structure, predictability, and a calm environment. Communication is facilitated through alternative and augmentative communication methods (AAC), which include the use of sounds, body language, signs, and visual aids. A central aspect of the assistance is the significant need for active supervision and presence during all waking hours.
