I think you are talking about the Sarah Duffen Centre which is in Southsea, Portsmouth. Its only 20 mins away from us. Basically it's where the Downs Syndrome Educational trust is based. Its a really great place - they do loads of research there as well as workshops. Daniel is on the waiting list for a baby development group. Everyone is very helpful and I am sure they could help you out in some way. Theyve got a website... hang on I'll find it and get back to you!!

www.downsed.org - but if you type in The Sarah Duffen Centre into Google you will get to the same site but the bit about the centre rather than the charity if you know what I mean! Is portsmouth anywhere near you?
