    The guidelines are apt, timely and comprehensive. They will help guide professionals as they navigate a new normal and pave the way forward through very uncertain times for practice and rehabilitation. Congratulations to the authors!!
    As someone who works with children with disabilities, our organisation will benefit tremendously from the guidelines and help our rehabilitation services.
