My Routine / Day Needs

Like everyone else, I have a routine. In my life that means that I must coordinate and train my Personal Assistants to that routine. In order for me to live independently, I rely on my Assistants and my tech to keep pace.

Below is an estimated schedule and routine for the fall semester coming up.

Day Shift : 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM

So I wake up and get out of bed around 8 am - 9

I need a PCA to lift me out of bed
Assist me w/ Toileting, dressing, and personal Hygiene.
I will need to pack up my Backpack w/ all school-related items and head out.
