Dr. Gerald Craddock:

No, and as I pointed out earlier, the number of students with disabilities has increased in mainstream schools and little extra support is required because they are transdisciplinary teams. I go back to the Deputy's point about when the occupational therapist is not present on a given day, but because they have worked closely with the speech and language therapist - I did this in my previous life when I ran transdisciplinary teams - the SLT is able to facilitate that person on some minor aspects of occupational therapy. That has helped with the resources not going through the roof to support those children in mainstream education.

In Finland, all the therapies are provided in the class. The pupils are not removed from the classroom.
