experiences are. It will help the charity to assess the viability of a centre that could act as a one-stop shop for information, advice, research and training. Jo Williams, Mencap chief executive, said, 'Some families tread a very lonely path in those early years of bringing up a child with a disability. This survey is designed to pool parents' experiences to see if a centre for early intervention could make a real difference.' It is part of a feasibility study being co-ordinated by Mencap and the Department for Education and Skills. Professionals and parents can take part by telephoning the charity on 020 7696 6954, sending an e-mail to info@earlyintervention. org.uk or visiting the website www.earlyintervention.org.uk.
