Matrix features on Zetland FM as part of Brain Injury week

"Our 10 year study proves that family-led home-based neuro-rehab interventions deliver the best outcomes for children and young people"

"When someone has a brain injury, early access to local, specialist rehabilitation is crucial to ensure the maximum recovery and make significant savings to the state in health costs"

"When different organisations assess different aspects of a child's neuro-rehabilitation needs, everyone looks at things from a different perspective and highlight needs and conflicting priorities"

"NHS clinicians struggle with what intervention to priorities in pediatric neuro-rehabilitation due to limited clinical time and the complexity of needs. Children, clinicians, parents and schools all have different neuro-rehabilitation priorities"

"We are medical practitioners. The real experts are the parents. Over the last 35 years they have taught me everything I know"

"Parent-supported interventions following pediatric ABI bring reductions to the cost to society"

"New parenting support intervention showed how parenting style is related to executive dysfunction in children and young people post brain injury. With support parents cope better so the child has a better recovery"

"Restoration of anatomical functions and relationships must be done within 2 months of brain injury"

"We would like to see earlier identification and support for children with brain injuries to help them succeed in school."

"Too often children and young people with ABI are discharged from hospital without specialist brain support that they and their families need to overcome lifelong challenges"
