I am a 12-year-old boy and I sustained an injury as a baby, as a result I have complex needs, including cognitive and physical. I have type 1 diabetes but can manage my condition with support. I am sociable, friendly and have a great sense of humour. In the main I require additional support out of school to support my learning and to assist me to enjoy social and leisure activities, engage in therapy, and further develop my life skills.
