Before you start work on the grid –
It may be useful for you to do a circle of support and/or a gifts poster for
the person with learning difficulties you are going to be thinking about.
Other things to think about,
• What is important to the person
• What’s important for the person
• Who does the person enjoy spending time with, who gives them a
good day?
• What characteristics do the people they like have?
• Are there any people the person does not like, what is it about them
they don’t like, what characteristics are common to people they
don’t like?
