Acknowledgements
This report could not have been written without the help and support of many people. We are greatly indebted to all those individuals - professionals, parents and young people - who gave so generously of their time and agreed to be interviewed and to complete questionnaires. We realise that many of the interviews ranged over difficult territory, and we are especially grateful to those participants who were prepared to go there with us. We would also like to thank our associates at Capability Scotland, and the project Advisory Committee for their invaluable help and support. Thanks also to Ian Pennicard and Laurence Wareing for their contributions during the data-gathering phase.
