Arthur Brosnan may only be five years old, but he’s already top of his class in numeracy and literacy even though he cannot speak. His mum Anna is hoping that’s all about to change if her son can get a motorised wheelchair enabled with a voice-assistance screen.
Arthur, who was born three and a half months early, has exceeded all expectations. Anna was pregnant with twins and had lost one while Arthur was expected to be a stillborn, but he still made his way into the world.
He was diagnosed with a severe form of cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair with the use of his left side. While he cannot physically speak, he communicates with a form of sign language, but that is difficult as he doesn’t have the use of his right arm.
