Even "having" therapy guarantees nothing. Having it is what goes in, or tries to; what signifies is what sticks. Teaching is not equal to learning. Which is why lots of letters after a person's name is insufficient evidence of accomplishment, I regret to say. Schools, in some cases at least, do not want to take the (sometimes considerable) trouble to monitor results. That's what I think, anyway.
