- Creating social opportunities for the person you care for one can help them to feel included and more accepted by their peers
- Each social opportunity can lead to more opportunities!
- Try to support the individual when they are with other people and help them to remember taking turns and listening when other people are speaking.
How can I create social opportunities for the person I provide care to?
- Make contact with other parents or caregivers and try to arrange meet ups and outings.
- Find out about all activities, groups and events in your local community that the person you care for might like to attend.
- Find camps available during the Summer in your local area for children and adults that may help the person you care for to meet other people and have fun.
- Support the person you care for to find social opportunities for themselves, maybe about something they enjoy like art, or cycling.
- Encourage the person to join a group or club about a topic they find interesting such as computer programming or science fiction. If the person is interested in the subject, they are more likely to stay involved.
