Govt Agencies Failing Shaun, He just wants to be able to shower

My son Shaun is a 21yr old with Autism, intellectual disability & PTSD from abuse in a organizations respite care house. Shaun moved into his very first Kainga Ora home in Nove 2024. We have been fighting with Kainga Ora and disability funding companies to get alterations done on his pathetically laid out bathroom. Shaun's Shower is fixed to the side wall of the bath and at a very low height, which means anytime he tries and has a shower he needs to bend right over and water goes all over the floor.

We have asked and fought with KO doe the last serval months to try and get this fixed and they say he could be waiting up to a year if not more. The disability funding is too busy to assess him, and an assessment could be a year and half away.

With his Autism he cannot stand the feeling of having a bath as part of his sensory issues, so he has to shower. Currently his 24 hr. support staff is having to take him to other houses just to have a basic shower and keep himself clean.

$3000 just to move the shower head and all the plumbing from side of bath to end of bath and Kainga Ora and Disability service expect him on a benefit or me and my wife on low income and 5 kids at home to cover this cost.
