Demonstrably superior care outcomes
Adam is a nine-year-old little boy with Goldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital condition characterised by incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip and mandible. It is associated with anomalous development of the first and second branchial arches.
Adam is severely autistic with a tracheostomy and is non-verbal. He has a history of faecal smearing when he is distressed or otherwise unhappy.
Liberatem steps in to support
Libertatem were asked to support Adam and his family through the provision of one afternoon and one night whilst Adam went to a respite centre. As he is non verbal his outward behaviour, including faecal smearing, could be considered directly proportional to his measure of contentment.
Our care helps
Since being supported by Liberatem, Adam is thriving and appears happy, this is
demonstrated by the fact that there has not been a single incident of faecal smearing.
