Hello
I just wanted to start by saying thank you for your support.
It means the world and this is just the beginning. The petition is gaining momentum.
There is no need to donate just please spread the petition far and wide to get the message out there.
All us families want is our kids to thrive and get the basic rights they are entitled to.
Unfortunately unless we as a family are able to have costly therapy bills are kids are falling behind.
Families are suffering and it's not good enough.
With 14200 kids on the assessment waiting list, what would actually happen if they clear that backlog.
The CDNT, primary care, specialist schools are not equipped for the numbers at present and can't provide the therapies needed.
So enough is enough we need actually proper solutions not just ticking boxes to make things look better ❤️
We need sufficient staffing in order for primary care and cdnts to individually meet the needs our children.
We need sufficient staffing to clear the backlog of assessments.
Sufficient numbers of specialist schools and ASD places so our children can attend schools.
Sufficient numbers of sna's to support children in schools as well as therapies in schools for children to identify issues and deal with them.
Implement the ESPN as outlined.
Yours truly
Karen McGrath
