The Project Officer would like to thank Harry Pickett for his guidance, support and knowledge he contributed during the development of this resource.

Thank you also to Peter Cliff for his contribution to the research involved with developing the manual and to Kevin Cheong for adapting the material to CD format to increase the accessibility of the manual.

Thank you also to Jenny Au Yeong, Harry Pickett and Anne Atkinson for your corrections and suggestions during proof reading.

Finally, a big thank you to all the people who participated in the focus groups, individual interviews and trial training sessions. Although I cannot name you all, your input and feedback was invaluable and this manual could not have been constructed if it was not for you.
