I'm a part time care giver working with a 30-year-old female with down . Our daily routine is structured around her state of mind on each day although we do focus on life skills and safety around the home. When possible I expose her to new surroundings and activities in an attempt to stimulate here mind and spark interest in new activities. I've worked with another client for four years who has developmental delays, and my role has been to mentally stimulate him and help him express himself through sports, specifically training for distance running and participating in the NYC and Boston marathons through Achilles International.
