All Limbs Affected: The child suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, the most severe form of the condition, with significant impairment affecting all four limbs, severely limiting mobility, independence, and functional capacity. Total Dependency: The severity of the cerebral palsy means the child requires complete assistance with all daily activities including feeding, personal care, mobility, communication, and medical needs, creating total dependency on caregivers. Birth Injury Causation: The quadriplegic cerebral palsy resulted from preventable complications during labor and delivery, where failures in obstetric care led to severe oxygen deprivation causing extensive brain damage. Complex Care Needs: The child requires round-the-clock care, extensive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, specialized medical equipment, adapted accommodation, and ongoing medical supervision throughout their lifetime. Mobility Challenges: The involvement of all four limbs means the child has no independent mobility and requires specialized wheelchairs, hoisting equipment, and comprehensive assistive technology to support any movement or positioning. Communication Support: The severe cerebral palsy affects communication abilities, requiring specialized speech therapy, communication aids, and assistive technology to enable any form of expression or interaction.
