Our Story

CALL Scotland is a small unit within the Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh.

We help children and young people across Scotland to overcome disability and barriers to learning created by their environment, and to fulfil their potential. CALL (Communication, Access, Literacy and Learning) is both a Service and a Research Unit.
