Скачать или смотреть Disability Matters: Fiona Walsh & Dr Simon Walsh outline their daughter Zoë’s experiences

At the Disability Matters Committee, Fiona Walsh and Dr. Simon Walsh described their daughter Zoë’s experiences of disability services in Ireland compared to Australia and the service disparities in Ireland. They explained how the level of WEEKLY occupational, physio, speech, and vision therapies received in Australia, when in Ireland children are lucky to get ONE annually in Cork. We also learned how services are much better in Galway compared to Cork. I raised the current failure of the ‘Progression Disability Services’ model with the Minister for Disabilities, Anne Rabbitte and HSE Management two weeks ago. Until these services receive proper funding, children and families will continue to be denied the therapists and services they are entitled to.
