Ms Martina Mannion:

Part of the frustration that has been felt by parents and schools is the fact that the current process is perceived as cumbersome and involves a lot of paperwork. That is what we are trying to change. Truthfully, going back to requiring everyone to have a report, an assessment and a diagnosis is anti-inclusionary. It goes against the United Nations Convention on The Rights of Persons With Disabilities, UNCRPD, and it is not in the best interests of children. People will see the benefits of the process that Mr. Hanlon will outline.
