I have a question for Mr. Lennon on geographic spread. He stated there are 33 visiting teachers countrywide, which does not seem like a great number of teachers to get to approximately 5,400 students. What is the geographic spread in that regard? Is there provision to deaf students throughout the country or are there blackspots?
