Perhaps any further information could be provided to the committee. We need that. Everyone buys into the idea of putting the resources where the need is. That could lead to less pressure on CDNTs and whatever else as we go on. I reiterate what has been said an awful lot. We need to ensure we have those who can provide the therapies but must also back them up with assistive technology. We have all seen it previously. That will be great reinforcement for parents, SNAs, teachers and all who are involved, including, in an awful lot of cases, the children themselves. It is constant reinforcement and something that can be updated. As much as it is great to have a therapist in place, he or she is not going to be there all the time. This is a service we definitely need. I assume I will have an opportunity to come back in later.
