Updated 16/07/2024  -  Sarah Perkins - Mother

Sarah expressed Mikey is at an age where he likes to engage in further activities without the support of his Dad, and begin to build on his independence in doing so, especially when he is not in College. As stated, Sarah was in agreement that Mikey has really enjoyed going to his Day Provision. Sarah is also pleased with the new identified provisions within Mikey’s EHCP starting in September. Sarah has continued to note that outside of education, Mikey does not have opportunities to socialise independently, so she feels that the PA/Day Service and 1:1 support is really important. Sarah advised this is because Mikey needs things to stimulate him and do things – he needs to be out/active and social. Sarah and Jason advised that Mikey has really been building on his independence e.g. personal care and is trying hard.

He will not accept he has epilepsy at all. Mikey resists most suggestions to improve his level of independence.
His communication skills in a group situation are still poor - he speaks quietly, says random things when others are not listening and struggles if he is not with people who know him well. This does very much hamper his road to independence as if he cannot communicate clearly with people he does not know well then his progress is limited and he still relies heavily on family and friends to help him. At home he will say food is too hot and sit for up to an hour or more before food is at an OK temperature to eat. His reluctance to repeat foods continues and even with meal planning this is difficult. He has also been found to be low in vitamin D which is being addressed with a supplement.

He continues to struggle with muscular pain despite the increase in his physical activity in the last year. He is very controlling and restrictive. We still struggle if food has green in it and the repeating of foods during the week.

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is previously known as feeding disorder or selective eating disorder. Someone with ARFID avoids eating certain foods, limits how much they eat, or does both. When a person develops ARFID, they are less worried about their body weight or shape and develop the eating disorder for other reasons, which include: a dislike of the smell, texture or taste of certain foods. feeling anxious following a negative experience with food, for example choking or sickness. previous fussiness with eating which develops into a more severe dislike of certain foods. a lack of interest in food and not feeling hungry. ARFID is more common in children with learning difficulties, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum condition (ASC).

What is most important to me: This could be your values, spirituality/religion, ethnicity, culture, pets, people, goals and aspirations. What things do you do to entertain yourself, music, leisure activities, gaming, puzzles etc.

Mikey lives in the family home with his Mum, Dad, and younger sister, Lucy.

Mikey is under Neurology - Southmead for his Epilepsy. He has medication twice daily – this is Carmazapene, and Levetiracetam (an add-on therapy with other seizure medicines). Mikey also has emergency Buccal Midazolam, but they have never had to use this. Advice was sought from ALDHS as part of this review, to be clear on this, as Mikey has always had involvement from PA’s who the family have arranged training for, and we are now exploring Commissioned Services. Due to being prescribed Buccal Midazolam as a rescue medication for prolonged seizures, this would be a medical emergency they would recommend Mikey has to have someone with him who would be able to administer the medication if required. ALDHS have confirmed that the plan is applicable to cover travel as he could have a seizure while in transport. ALDHS advised it is common for support workers to be trained in Buccal Midazolam and drive cars so there does not need to be a second colleague. Sarah explained the history of Mikey’s seizures – they have mainly been in bed, he has only had one outside of the home. Prior to medication/management Mikey was having Seizures and/or absences daily, but now it may be 1 every 2 months. Mikey has a epilepsy alarm mattress. 

Mikey has undergone genetic tests due to his Kyphosis - an abnormality of the spine causing excessive curvature of the upper back. This causes pain and stiffness, but nothing was identified. Mikey has had 2 major spinal surgeries. He now has an open appointment with Orthopaedics. Noted Medication is correct as at time of assessment and could be subject to change. Sarah manages Mikey’s medication to ensure that he takes this. He takes liquid medication, however he does not have the dexterity to use a syringe so he is supported to take the medication too. Mikey also has paracetamol and ibuprofen. Mikey relies on others to identify when he is unwell and is supported appropriately by them to feel better. Mikey can tell someone that he is in pain – e.g. if he hurts himself. If a medical appointment is required, Sarah will ensure that these are made, and supports Mikey to attend and ensure that he is understood and his needs are expressed. Mikey has annual health checks, where he is supported by Sarah.

Mikey experiences anxiety, and Sarah has stressed the fact he experiences it daily. This appears to be attribute to his Autism. Reasons for heightened anxiety for Mikey may be; new situations, change, new people, if clothes not on properly or if he does not want to do something. 

Mikey wears glasses everyday due to being short sighted, his hearing is fine. Mikey has a good memory and specifically remembers dates and times well.

Mikey can talk and type to communicate with people. Mikey tends not to speak in full sentences and may be quiet when first meeting someone, as he can become anxious communicating with new people. Sarah advised that Mikey’s speech can be "garbled". Sarah advised therefore, that new people may not always understand what Mikey is saying and he will need to repeat himself. It was reported in his previous assessment, that even in instances where Mikey understands what is being said, he may look to a familiar face e.g. his Mum to repeat what is being said and/or to communicate via her. This is apparent during my involvement with Mikey - Sarah sometimes repeats questions asked and Mikey responded through her. However, during my work – at home visits, College visits, or via Teams/phone calls - Mikey has also verbally communicated and answered my questions directly. When communicating with Mikey, it is important that speech should be slow and clear, and sometimes, re-phrasing can help him understand better. Mikey has never used any communication aids such as pictures/photos and never wanted to use these or Makaton/visual aids. At this time, Mikey is happy for his Mum to be contacted on his behalf as the point of contact.

Mikey's mobility is varied when he is outdoors, especially on uneven surfaces. Mikey can struggle to walk long distances - this can take it out of him. When he is struggling, he can become slow and stiff when walking and when tired, he will start to drag his left leg due to having overly tight muscles. Mikey holds onto people for support when he is out, especially when it is busy or when crossing a road. Whilst Sarah believes he understands road safety, he does not go out unaccompanied as he would "freeze" if something unpredictable happened, as well as his Epilepsy and requiring support in an emergency.

Summary
In summary, Mikey continues to have identified care and support needs within most of the domains of The Care Act. At this time, a lot of his needs are met at home via family, or education provision, as well as existing social/day activity and his PA. Recently – it has been highlighted that finding a new PA has been difficult, but his family have managed to identify PA’s who can provide support during academic holidays. It was therefore previously agreed that PA support would remain in holidays, but Mikey’s identified Day Service Provision was to be in place weekly/ongoing. This been beneficial in working toward the same needs which previous weekly PA was focusing on - community/social opportunities, independence skills, meaningful activities. Mikey remains keen to go to this provision 1 x weekly, alongside his new Education Provisions. Mikey told me that he has friends there, and really enjoyed going and the activities that they do.

Therefore, Mikey now attends his social provision 1 x a week, and the Direct Payment support remains within the school holidays. For the purpose of this conversation/ updates – Day Service is now going to move to a commissioned service.

People who are important to me: Think about how you want the people important to you to be involved in your care and support.

Lead professionals views: Copy of lead professionals statement

Doreen McBeam, Social Worker:
As Lizzy has become older, she has had a greater expectation of her parents to do more with her outside the home. Due to the complexities of her parents’ health conditions however, they are really struggling to keep up with the energy levels of a young woman. Lizzy wants to remain living at home and they are happy to continue to carry on the best they can. In addition to the package in place, Lizzy would benefit from regular overnight breaks, which would give her the opportunity to build on developing her personal care tasks.

Outcomes

Making Snacks , Simple Meals and Clearing up afterwards- Lizzy is able to make snacks and simple meals such as Jacket Potatoes and curries. She needs to be reminded to clear up afterwards. She often complaints of feeling tired.

Personal care continues to be a challenge- Currently there is a plan with the College to encourage Lizzy to shower and change her clothing. The new community based support provider has just started working with Lizzy and are building a relationship with her. The plan is to ensure that Lizzy’s personal hygiene is addressed before she goes out to attend an activity. This is an on-going outcome.

Keeping her room clean and tidy- As highlighted above, Lizzy requires significant encouragement and often becomes distracted. Lizzy’s room is small and there is not a lot of space to put things. Her parents are considering moving her to a larger room as one of her brothers has just moved out. However, it needs decorating, and this may take some time due to her parents’ health difficulties. This in an on-going outcome.

New Outcomes

To explore internships
To explore voluntary employment
To explore social opportunities outside the family home to minimise the risk of isolation.
Opportunities to talk through anxieties.
Regular overnight break to enable Lizzy to further build on her independence skills.

Triggers
Lizzy continues to be sensitive to sudden loud noises or dogs barking or children/teenagers talking loudly. She has been known to shout “shut up” from her window. She has to be reminded to use calming techniques such as putting on and listening to music.

Sleep in pattern-
Lizzy generally has a good sleeping pattern, and she will go to sleep when she is tired. However, Lizzy has to be encouraged to turn off her phone. Her parents sometimes suggest that Lizzy puts her phone in another room during the night to aid a good night’s sleep.

Road Safety Skills
A road traffic incident when Lizzy was crossing the road has impacted on her confidence. The Preparing for Adulthood Team was involved and completed a couple of sessions revisiting road safety skills. This seems to have helped Lizzy to regain her confidence and it has also reassured her parents. Lizzy now feels confident to cross the road to access local shops. She does not yet feel confident to travel independently on the bus. Hopefully, this can be revisited at a later date.

Clubs
Lizzy attends a couple clubs during the week and another one once a month. It is important for her to attend as this gives her the opportunity to meet up with her peers outside school. Due to Lizzy’s parents fluctuating health they are not able to do as much as they would like with her. This has been known to lead to triggers for Lizzy and she has been known to become really upset. Currently, the commissioned provider supports Lizzy to access clubs.

Day Centre Based Provision
Lizzy currently attends a day provision 1.5 days during College breaks. She enjoys attending as some of the other young people are known to her from College. The activities provided at Buddies are mixed and include crafts and cooking type activities. Trips to museums and places of interest are also undertaken. As well as developing social and independence skills this enables Lizzy to experience new opportunities outside the home.

Communication, sensory needs: How I communicate and how to communicate with me

Sam talks in shortened sentences and can find it stressful talking to people he does not know. This is helped by Sam having someone with him that he knows and trusts to support him to express his point of view without feeling self-conscious or like he has to respond in a certain way. Sam's level of anxiety can also be a barrier to him being able to communicate his needs effectively and after becoming anxious he may also find it hard to explain what has made him feel that way.

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency or hypoadrenalism, is a rare disorder of the adrenal glands.
The adrenal glands are 2 small glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They produce 2 essential hormones: cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal gland is damaged in Addison's disease, so it does not produce enough cortisol or aldosterone.

Symptoms of Addison's disease
Early-stage symptoms of Addison's disease are similar to other more common health conditions, such as clinical depression or flu. 
You may experience:
•	lack of energy or motivation (fatigue)
•	muscle weakness
•	low mood
•	loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss
•	increased thirst

Over time, these problems may become more severe and you may experience further symptoms, such as dizziness, fainting, cramps and exhaustion.
You may also develop small areas of darkened skin, or darkened lips or gums.
Although these symptoms are not always caused by Addison's disease, you should see a GP so they can be investigated.

Why it happens
Addison's disease is usually the result of a problem with the immune system, which causes it to attack the outer layer of the adrenal gland (the adrenal cortex), disrupting the production of the steroid hormones aldosterone and cortisol.

Treating Addison's disease
Addison's disease is treated with medicine to replace the missing hormones. You'll need to take it for the rest of your life.
With treatment, symptoms of Addison's disease can largely be controlled. Most people with the condition have a normal lifespan and are able to live an active life with few limitations. But many people with Addison's disease also find they must learn to manage bouts of fatigue, and there may be associated health conditions, such as diabetes or an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Adrenal crisis
People with Addison's disease must be constantly aware of the risk of a sudden worsening of symptoms, called an adrenal crisis.
This can happen when the levels of cortisol in your body fall significantly. An adrenal crisis is a medical emergency. If left untreated, it can be fatal.
If you or someone you know has Addison's disease and is experiencing severe symptoms, they will need a hydrocortisone injection immediately, either injected by themselves or by a person who is with them. Then call 999 for an ambulance, saying it's an "adrenal crisis" or "Addisonian crisis".



Crohn's disease is a lifelong condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed.
It's one type of a condition called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Symptoms of Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease affects people of all ages. The symptoms usually start in childhood or early adulthood.
The main symptoms are:
•	diarrhoea
•	stomach aches and cramps
•	blood in your poo
•	tiredness (fatigue)
•	weight loss

The symptoms may be constant or may come and go every few weeks or months. When they come back, it's called a flare-up.

Treatments for Crohn's disease
There's no cure for Crohn's disease, but treatment can help reduce or control your symptoms.
The main treatments are:
•	medicines to reduce inflammation in the digestive system – usually steroid tablets
•	medicines to stop the inflammation coming back – either tablets or injections
•	surgery to remove a small part of the digestive system – sometimes this may be a better treatment option than medicines

You'll usually have a team of health professionals helping you, possibly including a GP, a specialist nurse and specialist doctors.

Living with Crohn's disease
Living with Crohn's disease can be difficult at times. Unpredictable flare-ups and regular check-ups with your care team can disrupt school, work and your social life.
But if symptoms are well controlled, you can live a normal life with the condition.

Causes of Crohn's disease
The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown.
It's thought several things could play a role, including:
•	your genes – you're more likely to get it if a close family member has it
•	a problem with the immune system (the body's defence against infection) that causes it to attack the digestive system
•	smoking
•	a previous stomach bug
•	an abnormal balance of gut bacteria

There's no evidence to suggest a particular diet causes Crohn's disease.

Common symptoms
The main symptoms of Crohn's disease are:
•	diarrhoea – which may come on suddenly
•	stomach aches and cramps – most often in the lower-right part of your tummy
•	blood in your poo
•	tiredness (fatigue)
•	weight loss
You might not have all these symptoms.

Other symptoms
Some people with Crohn's disease also have:
•	a high temperature
•	feeling and being sick
•	joint pains
•	sore, red eyes
•	patches of painful, red and swollen skin – usually on the legs
•	mouth ulcers

Children with Crohn's disease may grow more slowly than usual.

There's currently no cure for Crohn's disease, but treatment can control or reduce the symptoms and help stop them coming back.
Medicines are the main treatments, but sometimes surgery may be needed.

Steroids
Most people with Crohn's disease need to take steroids (such as prednisolone) from time to time.
Steroid medicines:
•	can relieve symptoms by reducing inflammation in your digestive system – they usually start to work in a few days or weeks
•	are usually taken as tablets once a day – sometimes they're given as injections
•	may be needed for a couple of months – do not stop taking them without getting medical advice
•	can cause side effects like weight gain, indigestion, problems sleeping, an increased risk of infections and slower growth in children

Liquid diet
For children and young adults, a liquid diet (enteral nutrition) can also help reduce symptoms.
This involves having special drinks that contain all the nutrients you need, instead of your usual diet, for a few weeks.
It avoids the risk of slower growth that can happen with steroids.
Enteral nutrition has few side effects, but some people may feel sick or have diarrhoea or constipation while on the diet.

Immunosuppressants
Sometimes you might also need to take medicines called immunosuppressants to reduce the activity of your immune system.

Biological medicines
If other medicines are not helping, stronger medicines called biological medicines may be needed.
The biological medicines for Crohn's disease are adalimumab, infliximab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab and risankizumab.

Biological medicines:
•	can relieve symptoms if other medicines are not working
•	can be used as a long-term treatment to help stop symptoms coming back
•	are given by injection or a drip into a vein every 2 to 8 weeks
•	may be needed for several months or years
•	can cause side effects like increased risk of infections and a reaction to the medicine leading to itching, joint pain and a high temperature

Surgery
Your care team may recommend surgery if they think the benefits outweigh the risks or that medicines are unlikely to work.
Surgery can relieve your symptoms and help stop them coming back for a while, although they'll usually return eventually.
The main operation used is called a resection. This involves:
1.	Making small cuts in your tummy (keyhole surgery).
2.	Removing a small inflamed section of bowel.
3.	Stitching the healthy parts of bowel together.
It's usually done under general anaesthetic (while you're asleep).
You may be in hospital for about a week and it might take a few months to fully recover.
Sometimes you may need an ileostomy (where poo comes out into a bag attached to your tummy) for a few months to let your bowel recover before it's stitched back together.
You may need to take medicine after surgery to help prevent symptoms returning.

Treatment for specific conditions: This section contains important information relating to the treatment or management of specific conditions, such as Epilepsy, Addison's, Crohn's

Megan has absence seizures which can last up to 30 seconds but are usually shorter. If Megan has just begun what appears to be a seizure, staff should wait for 120 seconds to see if she comes out of it on her own. If not, then calling her name is usually all that is required to bring her round. 

Megan's epilepsy is well managed but is triggered by cold weather or if she is unwell. At times due to the nature of Megan's seizures, it can be hard to spot them. Due to the nature of her seizures, she does not carry any rescue medication.

If she does not respond as normal, call 999 and report that she is having a seizure and is not showing any signs of being alert or aware of where she is and what she is doing.
