A customers story - P

P used to attend Oakbridge 5 days a week and used a taxi to get there and home. P lives with his parents and the plan is for him to continue living with them. Since covid P has not attended Oakbridge and has had no paid services.

P has epilepsy and uses Makaton. P has a vocab of about 25-30 words in English and French.

P likes getting out and about. He likes seeing animals and spotting them when he is out. He likes listening to music and drinking coffee / tea.

P likes shopping, bowling, swimming. Although has not been able to do these due to covid.

It will be good for P to socialise again, as he has not been able to do this since covid. Socialising is important for P.

P attended Oakbridge Monday to Friday. As his home circumstance have changed and both parents are now home, they do not need a 5 day service in future. They would still like it to be between Monday to Friday in the normal hours between 9-4pm. His mum does not feel he or they need a service at the weekends. They are also happy to transport P to activities locally, rather than using a taxi.

His mum does not feel that his sessions all need to be centred based. A mix of being at a centre and being in the community would be good for P across the week.
