@Gouzi what would you like to know? The people I worked with were released into the community after years of institutionalization.
They were suffering the effect of that as well as their disability. Some of the woman were rape victims who didnt like to be touched. Its such a vast topic. My job a senior support worker was to make up care plans for them & gradually with support of other staff members help them settle into their new homes. I did things like find clubs for them plan outings & dealt with anxieties they had.
I liased with there medical consultants & Gps. I found ways to communicate with some them through sound & touch if they couldnt communicate verbaly.
