If I may, the only thing I would add is that not only is it limiting for the client, but it is also limiting for employers. We hear this from employers who are navigating the multiple service providers and job developers who can only speak for the specific clients that they have available. A lot of times the failed or the employment situations that don't work out is because there's a hustle to make the numbers. Instead of being able to draw upon all of the clients and eligible people with disabilities in the community, there can be clients who are put into employment situations that aren't suited to their goals and needs. If we are able to develop more consultation and collaboration at the outset, as Maureen was saying, that would better serve both our people with disabilities and our employers.
