M.A.P.S.
is a service for people with learning disabilities, providing activities
and opportunities
.
This
project was started in 2006,
and will soon be entering it's 5th year. I saw that the needs of people with
learning disabilities were not being met by the local authority, and
decided to do something about this.
.
Since
then,
over 300 people have used the services that I provide, meaning that
M.A.P.S. is developing into a very important community project.
.
We are
able to give people
a positive outlook on life, as we are helping them gain new experiences,
make new friends, and come to a place where they are valued.
.
The
clients are developing
their personal, social, and negotiating skills through various activities.
.
Two examples of this are:
The Wii computer means that individuals have to develop “turn-taking” and
“negotiating skills”, as well as social and physical skills in order to
play, and the Bingo activity promotes “speaking out” and “assertiveness”.
