"Positive and coordinated neuro-rehab interventions for children and young people is proven to bring health improvements; improve independence; reduces the need for sheltered living; decreases vulnerability; decreases drop-out rates in schools; decreases youth offending"

"Case management for children and young people post acquired brain injury is 'pivotal' to successful outcomes and must be local"
