why did you want to join us ? Your Support Matters are passionate about empowering people to choose how they are supported. They are committed to supporting people to manage their own support, championing the role of the Personal Assistant and educating professionals on the social model of disability. I am honoured to work alongside them in achieving their goals. I have worked for over twenty years as a Behaviour Analyst with people who have an intellectual disability and/or whom are autistic, their families and carers. I work in a variety of settings which includes people's own homes, schools and residential support services. I believe firmly that we all have the right to live a life of meaning, within our local community and with the right level of support.
