Do fun activities together

Who is Cobi?

Cobi is a 59-year-old lady with a severe intellectual disability and dependent on a wheelchair to get around. Due to her disability, she cannot communicate with words and she is dependent on her supervisors to get through the day with everything that comes with it. In her spare time she likes to lie on her couch where she has the freedom to move back and forth and flip and tear through magazines.

We are looking for someone who likes to walk with her, read a book, bake a cake, fold the laundry together, etc. It is about small activities and closeness. To gain her trust and mutually to get to know her, it is desirable to first visit her group a few times.
