Hi,
My name is Harry, I am currently in my final year studying Product Design at DeMontford University in Leicester. For my final project I have been researching the challenges and difficulties with preparing and eating food faced by people with disabilities .
If you can spare a few minutes to answer some questions to give me a better understanding of your experiences, I would really appreciate it.
If you feel comfortable, please provide your age, description of disability and how severely this effects you on a day to day basis.
Questions:
Thank you for taking your time to read this, I look forward to your responses and trying to make a difference.
Kind regards,
Harry

Questions:
- Can you tell me any issues you regularly face during food preparation?
- How do you overcome these issues at the moment?
- Give one (or more) examples of an issue that if solved would be helpful regarding food preparation and eating?
- Would you be more likely want to cook if the challenges you faced were overcome via product/solution and your reasons why?
Thank you for taking your time to read this, I look forward to your responses and trying to make a difference.
Kind regards,
Harry
