Who else can help?


There is generally many different ways to solve a problem. Some ways suit people better than others. Also there are times when problems require specialist help. In the course of our work and research we have come across programs, books, and materials that might be of interest or help to you.

However, since writing the book much has changed. Organisations that existed don't any more and new organisations are established. We are unable to continue to monitor and keep update the information that was previously listed on this page. So it is with regret that we have had to limit the content to what you currently see.

Disclaimer: Please remember that this is just a curtesy to help you find services or resources that might help meet your needs. Programs availability and requirements do change over time. Savi Consulting does not accept any liability to any person for the information (or the use of such information) which is provided by any of the services or resources described. The information is provided on the basis that all persons undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy for themselves.
