Personalisation for someone with a physical disability
This video introduces Stephen Page, a man with Multiple Sclerosis. He emphasises how important it is that he can relate to his PA and chat with her as well as receiving personal assistance and help with basic tasks.
Maintaining his social and cultural life is very important to Stephen and having a personal budget has enabled him to continue to attend events which help him to lead his chosen life and preserve his personal identity. He is a creative and talented person who needs to maintain his interests and activities for his own well-being. Stephen emphasises that personalisation can support people as individuals.
