the problem is its all about $$
a childs future to them isnt as important as how much money is involved.
but as a parent with a child who needs help all the money in the world isnt worth my child missing out on much needed resources.
however regardless of the money the way its set up is you ahve to go thru referrals to specialist among specialist all with a month or more waiting list, usually more, by the time they get the help they need they have it for much to short a time and its cut off. saves the government alot of money that way.
keep the help away as long as possible, and make the help as short as possible.
then at the end of the day you ahve a child whom with early intervention could have adapted well, not adapting and struggling thru life without the tools to fit well into society.
its all beurocratic junk, i doubt it will ever change, but I still hold out hope tha it will
