Dear Roxana
I know a previous student of mine who is now doing PhD educational research
on how drawing improves literacy. Unfortunately I do not have his email, but
I can write to him. How soon do you need supportive material, and if this is
appropriate (not exactly health - literacy - is it?), can you wait as long
as it takes to contact someone 'the old way' and wait for his response?
Would it be ok to send your details in the letter so he could contact you
directly?
Regards
Doris Rohr
