Prior to 1987, services to students with learning disabilities were provided, on an ad hoc basis, by members of the Department of Education.  In 1987 the Senate of Mount Allison University approved its first written Policy on Students with Learning Disabilities and this led to the creation of the Centre for Learning Assistance and Research (CLAR) and to the establishment of a program for students with a learning disability. This policy was updated in 2000.

A New Name

In the Fall of 1994 the Centre for Learning Assistance and Research (CLAR) became known as The Meighen Centre for Learning Assistance and Research. This change was to honour a generous donation to the Centre from the T. R. Meighen Foundation of St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

A New Home

In the Fall of 2008 the Meighen Centre moved into the completely renovated Wallace McCain Student Centre. For the first time it was housed in a space specifically designed to meet the needs of students with a learning disability.
