The Scottish Centre for Children with Motor Impairments, based at the Craighalbert Centre, is one of Scotland's Grant Aided Special Schools. It provides day school education for nursery, primary and early secondary age children with motor impairments (for example, cerebral palsy). The Centre also provides Early Intervention, outreach services and periodic placements to children from across Scotland, as well as those who have attended the Centre and are making the transition to mainstream schooling.
The Centre caters for children with motor impairments, which are often caused cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of difficulties with balance, posture, movement and co-ordination. These difficulties are the result of damage to the brain, which can occur before or during birth, or in the first two years of a child's life, when the brain is developing. The Centre is family-focused and works closely with parents, siblings and other relatives
. In 2016, Education Scotland identified the SCCMI’s key strengths as including:
- Leadership of the senior management team in driving improvements.
- Happy, motivated, engaged children who benefit from the rich communication environment.
- High-quality collaborative and integrated teamwork to assess and meet children’s complex needs.
- Highly skilled staff who ensure children learn and achieve in a nurturing and safe environment.
