Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Disability Services: Discussion

Ms Lucy Moran:

I think the hardest part of having a child with any delay is the fight for service. It is then the fight within yourself to know if you are giving them enough. What else can you do? We are reading books. We are joining webinars. We are trying to upskill ourselves, but at the end of the day we are not therapists. We do not spot all the opportunities that every speech therapist would spot to teach a child a new word, make them make a different sound, or things like that. We do not know. We need help and we need it now.
