Ethan, 8 years old, is an adorably sweet and happy little boy living with his Mummy and Daddy in Marlow.

He enjoys a wide range of activities, including sensory stories and play, massage, watching cartoons, and going for a walk outside. Ethan has Cerebral Palsy and associated complex health care needs, including epilepsy, visual and hearing impairment, a PEG in situ for all fluid, nutrition and medication, he requires deep suctioning and has a VEST system. Ethan and his parents are currently exploring Eye Gaze technology to aid his communication. Due to his significant medical needs, Ethan is totally reliant on others, on a 2:1 basis, 24/7 to meet all his health, care and medical needs. He is a wheelchair user and has ceiling track hoists installed to support with all transitions, moving and handling.
