help with some research - kpwlee

I would great appreciate some feedback from those of you with experience of either of these as I am writing a response for our local newspaper.  I have until early Wed. 1/30 to respond so if you could email me at my business email karen@carolinalifecoaching.com or pm me it will be GREATLY appreciated.

the two issues I am working with are

1 - returning to college/university at an older age or other non-traditional students - what are your biggest concerns

2 - parents of a handicapped adult child - issues around making a choice as to where the adult child should live - at home, assisted living, own home

Nothing I write will be personalized - exactly the opposite I will be generalizing and suggesting strategies for coping and succeeding.  I have good professionally based responses but the way I work I like to hear real experiences as opposed to just imaging what the individual would feel or what researchers tell me individuals feel. 

So thank you in advance I seriously am grateful to anyone who might give me additional insight to these issues
