I don't have time to give a full and fair consideration to the points kynn has raised. Advances are rewarded in many forms of human endeavour. Accessibility remains very hard to assess, and this will continue to make funding hard to justify. I sincerely believe that gains will be small and relate to demonstrations that are effective. However the situation is most complex, and the juxtaposition or placement and relation of these small elements of demonstration is key. Do we consider that adequate social provision will allow our client group to have financial independence? People who are disadvantaged, with a severe or mild learning difficulty, with a mental health problem, or of restricted economic means, are unlikely to ever experience financial independence. The business model is not one that naturally suits them, their family or carers. Unfortunately we have not yet developed a suitable means of sharing that nurtures competition, prevents monopoly and raises awareness. thanks -- jonathan chetwynd http://www.peepo.com "have fun surfing the net" http://www.learningdifficulty.org
