Welcome to Mindroom
A charity dedicated to helping children and adults with learning difficulties
Why?
Did you know that there are at least 5 children in every class with some form of learning difficulty who will then grow into adults with learning difficulties?
Who?
Whether you are a child, a parent, a relative, a teacher or any other professional, it doesn't matter. It's for you.
How?
Mindroom's goal is to create such awareness that, by the year 2020, all children and adults in this country with learning difficulties will receive the recognition and help they need.
We will achieve this by:
- Offering direct help and support
- Arranging high profile conferences
- Setting up multi-disciplinary diagnostic centres
- Setting up specialist schools

Vasaloppet takes place in Sweden, in fact it is part of the Swedish national soul and a much loved and respected event.

No Mind Left Behind 2011
We are delighted to give you the first advance notice of our fifth Mindroom conference, "No Mind Left Behind", which will take place 29th - 30th March 2011 at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Given the resounding success of "Social Brain II - See The Bigger Picture" in 2006 (held at the same venue) which we co-organised with Professor Christopher Gillberg, we have decided to organise another joint conference.
Continuing with the "Social Brain" concept, this time we have given the conference the unifying title "No Mind Left Behind".
