Our mission, vision and values

Discover the ethos and practice that underpins the work of the Research Centre.

The Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre was created in 2015, following a donation from AEH Salvesen Trust. The gift was given to develop a programme of combined research and practice work that would benefit children and young people with learning difficulties and their families. Since then, our broad core purpose has remained focused on rigorous research that makes a practical difference, but our remit has evolved over time to focus on neurodiversity across the lifespan.
 

Our Mission

We work collaboratively to create new knowledge about neurodiversity and translate that into meaningful impact.
 

Our Vision

Our vision is for a world where neurodivergent people flourish.
