About Mindroom

Mindroom is a charity dedicated to helping children and adults with learning difficulties. Conservative estimates indicate that at least five children in every class in the UK (and most other countries) have some form of learning difficulty. If left undiagnosed or untreated, learning difficulties will become the big public healthcare problem of our time.

Mindroom is a global meeting place where people can come with questions-and share answers.

It's a venue for parents to access basic information- and for world experts to share their latest ideas.

Here, conventional wisdom and unconventional thinking meet and move forward together. It is a forum helping children to develop, teachers to learn, parents to understand and experts to spread the word.

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.
That is our 2020 vision.


Our role is to facilitate and generate information and knowledge about the vast spectrum of learning difficulties, thereby creating an understanding about these issues that is free of prejudice, anger and frustration.

We will offer a veritable smorgasbord (yes, our founder is Swedish) of recognition, hope and practical solutions with the added bonus of humour and positive thinking.

We will work towards our 2020 vision by:

  • Offering direct help and support
  • Arranging high profile conferences
  • Setting up multi disciplinary diagnostic centers - Mindrooms
  • Setting up specialist schools


We are a recognized Scottish charity SC 030472.

And a company limited by guarantee and recognized in Scotland SC 209656

Direct help and support

Launched in Spring 2005, Mindroom offers outreach services through tailored talks and presentations on request. We also respond to enquiries and offer individual support and information.


Present

We are working towards establishing a ground-breaking multi disciplinary Mindroom Centre/Institute, with a diagnostic clinic, research and educational facilities, all under one roof.


In the meantime

We continue to create awareness about learning difficulties by collaborating with universities, employers, schools, the medical profession, social  services, the arts world, professional organisations and of course, families.
