Meet Charlotte & Rose
Charlotte is 11 years old and has Prader Willi Syndrome, which means that she finds it difficult to understand complex tasks at Guides. She can also find the environment overstimulating, particularly if it is too loud. She is friendly and outgoing but struggles to maintain friendships and can get quite upset if she is feeling left out. At her previous school she was on a reduced timetable, meaning that she spent a lot of time at home with her Mum, isolating her further and putting more pressure on her Mum.
Charlotte’s main goal was to be able to interact with her peers more whilst at Guides, so it was important to understand the triggers, which cause her to become overwhelmed and put reasonable adjustments in place to support her. Rose is fantastic at doing this, she was a Guide when she was younger, so she understands the structure of the group, which helps with explaining the games and activities. She has a calm, friendly and approachable demeanour which is compatible with Charlotte. They immediately formed a fantastic bond.
Having Rose at Guides with Charlotte has made a huge difference, she is now able to tell Rose if she is starting to feel overwhelmed, she can choose something from her special pink folder to help her to regulate and re- join when she is ready. Rose explains the activities in a way that she understands, which means she is able to earn badges and most importantly she has made friends, including one young person who she is especially close with.
