Hi jane and Karyn,

FYI only — Alex located these for me and are pretty old references now, but appear to have been referenced in your literature review.

Hi Meryl

As briefly discussed this morning, these two papers are referenced in the work completed by Deb Clarkes team, but here they are. The first one pre-dates the second, but both by Alan Hudson and Sue Moore.

Happy to connect you with Arthur redacted: s47F - personal privacy and Laurie redacted: s47F - personal privacy who have extensive involvement with managing the issue over many years — unfortunately, the company has seen the opportunity with the implementation of the NDIS to reinflate their ‘promises of successful communication’ with families who are desperate for a solution.

Cheers

Alex
