Hello,
I think that this document, as it is ultimately intended for end users,
will need to be translated and localised for different countries.
Different cultures have different expectations and people with
disabilities organise themselves in different ways. It would be useful
to add an appendix to the translation giving contact addresses and
suggestions for alternative approaches more suited to the local
context.
regards,
Alan

someone could be in touch contact with them.
