Clear and convincing evidence, including the testimony of the agency’s caseworker, supports the findings that diligent efforts by the agency to plan with respondent for the children’s future and to arrange visitation between respondent and the children were frustrated by respondent’s failure to regularly or timely attend scheduled visitation with the children and plan[289]*289ning meetings with the agency, and by her failure to regularly attend and complete counseling (see Matter of Sheila G., 61 NY2d 368, 385).
