Profound and pervasive support needs

Ibrahim, 5, does not use words or consistent gestures to communicate, vocalising and reacting to touch and sound instead. He cannot sit independently and requires full support for all self-care, including feeding, continence, and mobility. This pattern has been present since infancy, with no previously higher level of functioning documented, and a developmental assessment places his overall functioning in the profound range.
