Until the age of 2, Jamal developed like all other children: he smiled, played, and interacted with others. However, there was a sudden setback. Jamal stopped responding to others and stopped making eye contact.
Now, at the age of 5, Jamal enjoys jumping on trampolines and solving puzzles, but he struggles to communicate with other children, speak, or take care of himself. He finds it difficult to eat without assistance, dress himself, or play with toys.
In order to improve his understanding and develop self-care skills, Jamal needs to take a course of classes with specialists in applied behavior analysis, sensory integration, adaptive physical education, and speech therapy.
