ABOUT ME
I have an intellectual disability and Down’s syndrome. I only have a few words, which includes ‘yes’ and ‘no’ and ‘stop.’ bit I can make myself understood. I am very shy and take a while to feel comfortable around new people. I get so shy I find it difficult to make eye contact with new people. Just leave me alone when you first meet me and wait until I come up to you before you direct too much of your attention towards me. I love it when someone new makes me a toasted cheese sandwich.
I have a cat called Rocky (I can say his name)
And I like to feed the neighbor’s cat, Emma.
WHAT I LIKE
Swimming
BUT MAKE SURE TO GIVE ME MY RED FLOATIE
Walking
Gardening and especially watering:
AND I AM REALLY GOOD AT PEELING VEGETABLES:
WHAT I DISLIKE
CROWDED PLACES
NOISY PLACES ESPECIALLY WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS
BLINDING SUNLIGHT
GETTING TOO HOT
AND ESPECIALLY BEING TOLD OVER AND OVER TO DO THINGS I DON”T WANT TO
IF I DON”T DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE ASKED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES TO DO (THAT YOU KNOW I USUSALLY DO) LEAVE ME ALONE AND ASK A WHILE LATER
AND I CAN GET VERY ANGRY AND MELTDOWAN IF MY IPAD RUNS OUT OF POWER AND NOT UNDERTSAND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. I HAVE 2 IPADS SO ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ONE I AM NOT USING IS CHARGING)
HOW TO BEST SUPPORT ME
SMILE A LOT
DON”T RUSH ME
GIVE ME EXTRA TIME

MORE INFO FROM OTHERS
Family
ME WITH MY UNCLE BRIAN
Occupational Therapist
I have completed a Sensory Profile with recommendations for Billy. Read my complete assessment below by uploading attachment 2. Understanding his sensory sensitivities is essential to supporting social and occupational participation. If he begins to experienc sensory overload he will shut doewn and become resitant to participateing in anythiung.
Speech Therapist
See how best to communicate with Billy and support his understanding by reading my communication assessment which you can download at the bottom of this page at attachment 3. It has my contact details attached if you need to be in touch. Y
You can also view a video about how Billy communicates at the bottom of this page at Video 4.
Also, if Billy raises his hand like pictured below it is a sign to ‘back-off’ He is finding you overloading and can get distressed and dysregulated if you ignore this sign. Back of for a few minutes and let him calm then gently try communicating with him again.
Behaviour Support Practitioner
See Billy’s complete Behaviors Support Plan at Attachment 5.. Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to meet with me to discuss my plan and the fine points of how to implement.
Physiotherapist
Billy needs to work every day on his balance and coordination. Play ball games with him – especially catching and throwing. Start close then move further away. Don’t let him fail to often. Use the weighted ball I have left in the office. You can see other excercises Billy enjoys doig by watching Video 2 – at the bottom of this page.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME
I HAVE EPILEPSY
I ONLY EVER HAVE MAJOR SEIZURES WHICH ARE USUSALLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AFTER IT HAS BEEN A HOT NIGHT.
My arms and legs will start shaking. Just leave me where I am but remove or move anything around me I might hit. The seizure will usually last less than 30 seconds but it lasts for more than 60 seconds ring an ambulance.
See detailed instructions on how to manage my seizures below.
THE OTHER THING IS I CAN GET DISTRACTED AND GET LOST EASILY> SOMETIMES I AM SO INTERESTED IN SOMETHING I FORGET TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHERE YOU ARE>
So always keep a close eye on me.
