  • How can ND Oracle represent people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, non-speaking people and people needing substantial support without building the concept only around the most independently communicating voices?

A learning-disability diagnosis can be relevant to healthcare access and reasonable adjustments, but the diagnosis alone does not specify an individual person's communication or support needs.
