old
,
Jaziel
,
who
has
a
developmental
condition
that
affects
how
the
two

his

communicate
.
Because

,
therapy
,
and

,
officials

a
large
of
money
.

said
this
decision
is
very
painful
for
her
,
as
she
helps
care
for
others
every
day

shown
strong
progress
with
therapy
.
His
father
works
as
a
chef
,
and
their
younger
daughter
was
born
Australia
.
Despite
this
,
the
government
decided
that
Jaziel
?
s
future
care
could
cost
more
than
one
million
dollars
,
which
affected
their
outcome
.
Some
experts
believe
this
policy
is
too
strict
and
does
not
consider
the
important
work
of
skilled
like
nurses
.
They
argue
that
health
waivers
should
be
available

especially
for
people
working
