I can’t believe this needs to be said, but…

– Withholding medication from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.

– Withholding mobility equipment from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.

– Withholding stim toys, comfort items or similar from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.

– Stopping a disabled person from using harmless routines or coping mechanism is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.

Stop.

Same goes for communication devices.

Sorry, absolutely right. And for refusing to let someone communicate using sign language.
