ABOUT RYAN:
Ryan is a young man of **Apply on the website** years. He lives in
Termonfeckin Co.Louth and has grown up in Drogheda. He currently
enjoys going for the walks, swimming, listening to music, going on his
swing and engaging socially when he feels comfortable. Ryan?s family
are keen that he is offered the same opportunities to be part of his
community and live an ordinary life as other young adult his age.
He has completed his schooling and is now looking for support to
explore future options, life tasting and discovering what he enjoys
doing.
Ryan has not always had a positive experience in the traditional
services for people with the label of being disabled, so it will take
time to earn his trust. He uses words to communicate but can become
anxious which leads to extreme forms of communication. He needs a high
level of support in certain areas of his life, and he can find it
challenging to be in unfamiliar spaces or when he feels uncertain or
nervous.
Your role will be to work closely with Ryan and his family/circle of
support. It is very important that you are open to listening and
sharing the space with Ryan. We believe it will take time for you and
Ryan to build your relationship and trust. This is an important factor
in this role.

and Ryan?s circle of support. You will receive training, support and
planning from Ryan, his circle of support and his family. You will
also receive support from Ryan?s parents to help you get to know and
understand Ryan. This will also help you to learn how best to support
him.
