Greg’s Story

Greg’s Story

Greg

Greg was born with cerebral palsy that mainly affects his legs.  Greg’s family were looking after him but he wanted greater independence although he still wanted to continue living with his family.

To build Greg’s self-esteem and to give him a real sense of control over the changes he was making in his life Blue Sky Enabling immediately started working with Greg on selecting his team of enablers.  Blue Sky Enabling also enabled Greg to set his own goals of what he wanted to achieve, which included going out into his community, shopping and learning to cook for himself.  Most importantly, Greg said he wanted to be able to meet people and do ordinary things that other young men of his age enjoy doing, so his staff supported Greg to attend a local youth group.
