Can I also add my thanks as we have been looking into these issues in higher education for a HEFCE project. I would have liked to have known if assistive technology had any impact on the lives of the individuals or was used as a method of communication and support. I would also be interested to hear from others if they have worked in this way with individuals who have mental health difficulties - using e-mail support, discussion groups or any other enabling technologies that may not necessarily come under the usual headings of AT.
