MAITS’ mission is to create a network of individuals and organisations in the UK that have training and teaching expertise in helping children and young people with special educational needs (SEN). We are simultaneously creating a network of SEN organisations in the developing world that do not have access to the latest teaching methods and SEN research and are looking for help and guidance for their teachers, therapists and support staff. MAITS then links up the two networks and facilitates volunteers from the UK network to go to the organisations in the developing world for a period of time to help bring them up to date with the latest teaching methods and research.  We are registered UK charity 1126268.
