Hi Everyone
I am working with an 11 year old lad who has a brain injury that presents like autism. He has a history of much challenging behaviour, but this is now well controlled by consistency and predictability. He has a wall-mounted TV with a protective screen. Today he had a new carer working with him (who has been shadowing other carers) and it didn't go well. In his distress, he managed to break the TV.
Does anyone know of an especially adapted TV or way to protect the TV from damage please?
Many thanks.
