Perhaps we could get that information on building and on the schools and kids impacted as soon as possible.

Are we any closer to a timeline for in-school therapies? We all know that approximately 445 positions for therapists in the CDNTs are not filled. We will be looking to fill those vacancies at the same time. I am looking for a timeline for special schools, for when therapists will be moved into autism classes and for when that facility will be introduced to mainstream classrooms.
