Salvesen Mindroom Centre

Scotland

Salvesen Mindroom Centre supports, informs and empowers neurodivergent children and young people as well as their familes.

Salvesen Mindroom Centre’s (SMC) mission is to create a world in which no mind is left behind. For over two decades we have worked with and campaigned for children and young people with what has historically been referred to as ‘learning difficulties'. Neurodiversity refers to the fact that each person’s brain processes information in a unique way, meaning that each person thinks, feels and learns differently. Neurodiversity provides an empowering framework for understanding differences between people and is used to highlight the positive qualities possessed by those with a neurodevelopmental difference - and is a move away from the more pathological terms of learning disorder, difficulty or disability. SMC was founded in 2000 by Sophie and Robin Dow, parents of a child with a unique chromosomal deletion. From the beginning, our mission was to help people understand that it takes all kinds of minds. We are now the leading charity on neurodiversity in Scotland, building international recognition for our expertise and research. Through our outreach support services, our training and advocacy projects, and our research partnership with the University of Edinburgh, we are forging a new future for neurodivergent people, ensuring that the right policies and practices are put in place to enable them to flourish and fulfill their potential – wherever they are and whatever they are doing.
