Every Thursday I’m spending a few hours as an enabler for a friend’s SEN son. He’s actually mid 20s now so well beyond the education system and has been assessed by whoever and is entitled to a certain number of hours support per week. But given the current situation, his usual enablers aren’t really able to get over here and spend time with him so I’ve been doing it. The first couple of weeks we were doing chores/diy for his mum but last week and this, with the good weather, I’ve taken him and their dog out on long country walks which he really seems to enjoy. He’s really into F1, so I have to make sure I have some knowledge of it although nothing on what he knows. But it also gives him a chance to fill in some gaps in what he understands about the world and it’s satisfying to see him joining the dots. It must be very difficult if you can’t read. Anyhow today we did a nice 5 miler including a good stretch alongside the Tamar and the conversation ranged from Stirling Moss, tides and the Beeching cuts.
