Looking for regular respite for neurodivergent 14 year old girl
- Nobleford, AB
- Permanent
- Full-time
S is currently in grade 8, but her general understanding of most social and some behavioural concepts is at a 6 or 7 year old level. We are still waiting to get the paperwork on the intellectual delays piece.
S currently has a pretty good team for support. My parents are currently my primary source of backup, they also live here in Nobleford a few blocks away. Then there is S's CFS worker, and we are also still involved with McMahon TFC team for a few months yet- prior to S moving back in with me, she was in specialized foster care. S also has youth workers set up for 2 days a week, currently Mondays and Wednesdays for a few hours each at least till school is out, but unless my mom (S's Oma) is available-which she currently is overnight on Wednesdays to bumper up against the youth worker- then I have very little time for reset. I also work in Coutts on Wednesdays, but everything including which days I go to the office is flexible and movable.
Because of Sam's divergence, she needs to be closely monitored if there are other kiddos around, especially if they are younger or more passive.
S absorbs information quickly, and repeats it to others, but doesn't always understand what she is repeating. She often repeats exactly as she hears things without putting it in her own words.
S also has a habit of influencing others do her bidding or give her things and then claim them as gifts. S is know to collect things in general, stuff is a problem. Stealing HAS been a problem.
S also has a negative transition history around screens and electronics as well. She gets hyper focused, then angry and mean when required to disconnect or the time is up.
I want you to have a clear picture of challenges up front and aren't blindsided by things we know about. S also has a long list of interests and is easy to redirect if needed.Created by Rachel.
