A Personal Assistant (PA) is someone who provides a person with a disability with the physical assistance to do things that they may not be able to do themselves. PA is the cornerstone of the Independent Living movement. 'Personal' means that the PA works to the agenda of the person with a disability. 'Assistance' refers to the method of working: a PA's role is to assist. A PA enables a person with a disability to make their own decisions and to be in control of their own life.
