Thank you

Any idea how much it will cost? They arent answering the phone when i ring!!!

I would dearly love to go but I know I can't afford it however much it costs. Heigh ho.

The only thing i can find on the website says Shefield (not london), and says £85 for parents.

I emailed the Centre as above, got a reply this morning with booking form - it is £200 for professionals, £100 for parents. I am very tempted, will see if I can persuade DH to get a day off.

Thats more than i can afford at the moment! My ds is profoundly deaf and has aspergers. He seems to fall between the two stools so to speak!
