I must say that because dopamine is now recognized as .such an important neurotransmitter, the non-motor symptoms of PD are now getting the attention they deserve. I would be pleased to be a part of this study.

He is 76 years old. His son (my husband) and myself are having difficulty persuading him that he needs help in the home to do daily housekeeping chores, shopping, etc.. (He is not driving).
Can you send us information (or outline for workshop), about home safety and general caregiving skills. I would like to come to the workshops but I have to work on the 12th and 19th.
