David is a nineteen-year-old man who lives with his non-identical twin brother, mother, and father in a council housing estate flat in North Glasgow. Both twins were born blind and delivered prematurely due to unspecified complications in his mother’s pregnancy. David and his brother have been in receipt of support services from my placement organisation since they were children.
