Ms Debbie O'Neill:

We were part of the same project, the school inclusion model, SIM, over the past number of years. The model started in 2018 and we were one of the pilot schools. After the Covid pandemic, we had a speech and language therapist but no occupational therapist. The SIM pilot project was hailed as a success but the only thing we got over the six years of SIM was a speech and language therapist and an occupational therapist for a few visits who taught us some strategies around visuals. There were no therapeutic interventions with children. If that is going to be the same again, it is not going to cut it.
