It was a great pleasure to talk to Jane Harrison at Holistic Health. Jane and Helen Sanderson and Judy Ruddle do groundbreaking work in occupational therapy with severely disabled people using essential oils, the sense of smell and sense of touch to promote communication and learning. The results speak for themselves.

If anyone would be interested in contributing case studies to Jane for an update to the excellent book - Aromatherapy and Massage for people with learning Disabilities (1991) this looks a possible project for 2010.
