Locally based at Ingfield Manor, Five Oaks, this is a specialist service for families of young children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Parents and children learn daily living skills together at its School for Parents using the principles of Conductive Education. The charity support families with babies and children under five years of age. For more information, please see http://www.dvltrust.org.uk/
