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 in Scotland 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.

What?

We can give you information and advice on things like support at school, home teaching, local groups, placing requests, assessments, behaviour, self esteem and what happens at 16.

How?

At Mindroom we provide one to one support, advice for families and training for professionals. Our 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:

  • Providing direct help and support
  • Arranging high profile conferences
  • Setting up multi-disciplinary diagnostic centres

Imagine for a moment...

...that you have been working all day on your computer. An important document has been polished to perfection and is ready to be printed out. You press the print button. Nothing happens. Arrrghh! Frustration, anger, futility, resignation.

Having learning difficulties can be just like that. You seem to have all the tools to work with, but your 'internal print button' is out of order.  
 

The Brain

The Brain - is wider than the Sky
For - put them side by side
The one the other will contain
With ease - and you - beside

Emily Dickinson 1830 - 1886
