DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL: Individual is a 22 y/o male and has vocational experience at two community sites while he attended LEEP. He excels at cleaning, restocking, sorting, stacking, and organizing; he’s noted to be very detail oriented. The individual takes pride in completing tasks and a job well-done.
He has limited verbal skills; he understands English and typically expresses himself through scripts, some basic American Sign Language, facial expressions, gestures, or through the LAMP app (84 icons) on his tablet. He thrives with a visual schedule and prefers to adhere to that schedule once it is established.
He is typically very focused when he’s in the vocational setting. If he is startled by a loud, unexpected noise, if there is a sudden unexpected change, or if he feels frustrated that someone doesn’t understand him, then he can become dysregulated and exhibit self-injurious behaviors (i.e. biting his own hand without breaking skin, pushing on his own forehead, pushing on his eye, slapping himself). However, he utilizes regulation skills and, with the help of staff, returns to work tasks once he is regulated. He has many interests, such as being outside, going for walks, riding his bicycle, spending time in the water, playing softball, and watching movies.

HOUSING: Lives at home with his family in Willoughby.
