00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Today, I’m at the swimming pool with Minh, 
who has autism and an intellectual disability.

2
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,000
Minh has a personal plan that assists me 
when I work with him.

3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,600
It has been developed in collaboration with 
his mum and the people the support him.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,700
It includes what he wants to achieve whilst 
he is with me or my colleagues.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,700
It also details how he wants us to support 
him.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Minh’s plan does change. He’s a typical teenager. 
He’s always looking for new things to do.

7
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:31,800
Swimming is what he’s interested in at the 
moment, so here we are.

8
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:36,600
Minh has a good support network and we help 
him with a bunch of activities.

9
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:38,700
Which in turn helps his skills and his confidence.

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,100
This is Michael, Minh’s swimming coach who 
works with him in the pool.

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,600
To get the best possible outcome for Minh, 
I work very closely with his support network,

12
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,900
which means that some weeks I’ll take him 
swimming.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,300
Another support worker might take him shopping, 
and someone else will help him with his volunteer 
work.

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,000
We all use an iPad to document what we do 
with Minh.

15
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,500
This allows us to share strategies on how 
to get the best outcomes for Minh.

16
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:04,900
We are currently working with Minh to help 
him increase his independence,

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
to use things like using public transport 
and to talk to shop assistants.

18
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:15,100
When working with Minh we are constantly 
referring to his plan to make sure that we 
understand his needs,

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,000
his goals, and what he wants from us.
