Some examples include psychologists and physio therapists.
Concern is growing among parents of special needs children in the midlands over a lack of therapists available.
Therapists, such as psychologists, occupational therapists and physio therapists, are lacking in numbers across special education schools in Laois and Offaly.
The HSE have claimed a difficulty in recruiting such staff, with plans for an audit of those in the private sector, as well as further advertising for the positions.
Offaly Independent councillor, Sean O'Brien, says no access to therapy can be harmful to children's development:
