A medically fragile child is one who, because of an accident, illness, congenital disorder, abuse or neglect, has been left in a stable condition, but is dependent on life sustaining medications, treatments, equipment, and has need for assistance with activities of daily living.
Diagnosed medically fragile by a medical physician, this child may:
- Have chronic health care conditions such as diabetes, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy (CP);
- Be a transplant recipient and require special health care support, such as tube feedings, oxygen therapy, suctioning, tracheostomy care, or a ventilator;
- Have limited mobility and require special health care support due to paralysis or chronic disease.
