I was wondering what are some of the challenges that you're seeing these days that come up regularly for children and families?
8:11
Well, I guess one of the biggest current challenge at the moment is financial.
8:17
So the costs of living has significantly increased and for a family already managing additional costs associated with disability, illness or disadvantage, there can be very little flexibility left.
8:31
So what are we seeing at the moment is this increasing demand for support as families are facing the financial pressure.
8:39
So we see families making difficult decision about what they can afford and what they have to postpone.
8:46
So for instance, when a child needs specialized equipment, assistive technology or medical support, this cost can be substantial as well.
8:55
And not to forget, there's also the emotional and administrative load.
