The student is likely to need 24 hour care, which should be funded by
his/her home social services dept. An additional room may be needed
for the carer if a care agency is used, or even two rooms if
Community Service Volunteers are used. The student may or may not be
able to operate a computer other than a voice activated one and may
need help with taking notes.
