Using strategies to manage symptoms and achieve daily goals

Adam is a personal assistant, supporting Heather a few hours each week in her own home. Heather is the chairperson of a disability rights organisation in Manchester. Heather has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, ADHD and autism. She has various symptoms from these that can affect her mobility and organisation. Adam's main role is to support Heather to do her work whilst keeping her comfortable and safe.

As you watch, ask yourself... 

  • How do Heather's lists support her independence

  • Thinking about a person you support - would lists or a similar approach help them?
