FW: Competence Replacement

[Simon Judge]

Hi,

Is it me, or are they slowly replacing all the NOS that had 'assistive' in their title with less specific ones (see below)?

This is what I get [1] when searching for 'assistive' now. Much less relevant than previously.

I'm not sure what impact, if any, this has on us, but it doesn't seem very good?

Cheers,

Simon
