Most of the questions asked of me via this website can be answered by getting professional advice, or researching commercially available aids, or offering sensitive support. The questions and suggestions in this section do, however, fall into the coping strategies remit of this website.

The views, strategies, advice and suggestions etc are based on my personal experience and are not necessarily appropriate for anyone else although they should, hopefully, stimulate individuals to develop their own strategies.
