Tracy – Liaison Worker<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I work at the Adult Social Group in Newbury as as a liaison worker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I am a parent carer to my daughter who has global developmental delay and a son with ADHD and Tourette’s, I can share with others how life with a teenager with ADHD was. The highs & the lows, including his achievements to go on to full-time work and passing his driving test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have 5 grandchildren that keep me busy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
