Are there any people who are having difficulties thriving in Charente Maritime France. Need help?

Question

I am an Occupational therapist with both British and French state registration. I am planning to start a private practice in France in January 2007. To this end I am interested in the type of difficulties people are experiencing settling in/moving on. I have been assisting British people on a voluntary basis to gain experience and widen the scope of my practice. Currently, issues I have been involved with, include
Statementing for children with special needs to gain a support worker in class - including appeals process
Assistence to obtain social security number/ carte vitale
Assistence to claim their benefits entitlement - with the consequent access to services this offers
Advising on suitable environmental adaptations
Problems with utility companies, EDF,
Joint visits for medical appointments
Looking at ways to test if their business idea is viable without the high social charges at the outset
Obtaining grant assistance for building renovation.
Confidentiality guaranteed
