Children who require continual extra support at school have many hurdles to overcome as they progress towards adulthood. Their self-confidence can be very low and their anxiety levels high. Their difficulties not only have a profound effect on their progress through the education system, they also have a significant influence on health and social development. Problems with behaviour and attitude can arise at home as well as at school. Many suffer from stress and anxiety. Many parents are trying to minimize the impact of the difficulties their children face, to help them over the hurdles, feel positive about themselves and achieve their full potential. However, most parents feel inadequately prepared for the task.<\/p>\n

SCILL grew from a small group of parents who have children with learning difficulties. To start with, we met for mutual support and to share experiences and information. Our children were facing the challenges of dyslexia, dyspraxia, developmental coordination disorder, autistic spectrum disorders, Asperger\u2019s Syndrome, auditory processing disorders, and Attention Deficit (Hyperactive) Disorder. We recognized the stresses that these difficulties caused our children and other family members.<\/p>\n
As the group grew, we saw the need for a more structured approach so in 2003 we drew up a constitution and formed a committee. In June 2003 we became a recognised Scottish charity, working in the Banchory and Deeside area.<\/p>\n
SCILL hopes its activities assist parents and professionals to be well informed, able to identify children with learning difficulties and provide them with the most appropriate help and support. SCILL believes that this can be best achieved when parents and professionals work co-operatively.<\/p>\n
SCILL also establishes funds to ensure attendance at all SCILL events is\u00a0open to all<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0free of charge whenever possible<\/b>, whether members or not.<\/p>\n
