Hi John, Please look at the minuets from yesterday. This was discussed at length and these concerns were more or less addressed.

I don’t think we should address that because someone might do so as a result of a disability. There are other reasons why I think we should not address this issue, which I would be pleased to share if necessary. John John Rochford UMass Medical School/E.K.

Also, I think we need to better address the problem of aggression and inappropriate behavior by people with dementia with communication technologies. In some types of dementia, such as behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (BvFTD) the first symptom is a change in the personality, including disinhibition and lack of empathy. As a result, they may use accessible communication technologies in a harmful way, possibly to an extent of being illegal. ideas anyone? Ayelet
