Abdu

Abdu is from the Middle East/Asia area. He suffers from a mental health condition, due to events which happened in his home country. He also has a visual impairment. He has no family here and lives with a foster family. He does not get EMA, but a learning allowance from Social Services.
He rarely comes to the voluntary sessions. When he does, he does not engage with any task. He tries to use a computer at one point, then gives up after two weeks. He tells me that he has problems with his head, and that he needs to see a doctor. I attend meetings with social services to encourage him to attend. He tells me that he only wants to go to the classroom. I find out that he is not literate in his own language.
He is currently studying at Entry 2, and has problems focussing on any text.
