It is with the entire school community. The Deputy will understand more than most that putting therapists back into special schools is not just going to empower the work the therapists are going to do, but will empower the entire school community. The information we got about where the therapists were heretofore was that they felt they had a place to go to ask for advice. The entire school community will benefit. That is practical. It is a challenge that is met not just in the special schools but also in the special classes every day in relation to bus escorts and issues on buses. That is an issue that needs to be met and will be met by the therapists.
