Case Studies

"Healthy teens are better at identifying strategies to deal with barriers. KIDS WITH ABI'S CAN'T!"

"Intensive and individualized approaches work. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't. You have to make it relevant to the child."

"Different 'experts' involved in paediatric neuro-rehabilitation come from different organisational cultures which causes conflict and has a negative effect on the outcomes for the child."

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

"Strength-based family intervention after pediatric ABI is essential. Parents need to be equipped with the skills to cope and advocate for the child."

"Rehabilitation interventions can lead to positive outcomes for children and their families if delivered in the familiar home environment and applied to everyday situations"

"Taking brain injured children home causes high stress for families. Disjointed services exacerbate family stress levels."

"Thousands of children and young people living in the UK today without the help and support that can make a huge difference to their lives"

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

"We need to harness the power of brain plasticity for treating children and young people with brain injury, especially at the key ages of 0-3 and at ages 10-16"
