Dr. Rosalyn Tamming:

We are doing the review of children's disability network teams at present and we are hearing a lot about assessments of need. Therapists themselves say they would like them done in their own services because they get to build a relationship with the family. They help with the journey of acceptance and they can also give therapies as they are going along. It is better for everybody to do this but it is about trying to balance the need at present.
