Problems caused by an Acquired Brain Injury

"There are problems with getting people into neuro-rehab. Those most in need are often those most excluded due to a lack of socio-economic resources."

"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"

"Pediatric neuro-rehabilitation cannot be delivered in isolation. The needs of the child have to be looked at both holistically and within the context of the family unit. Parents need to be empowered to be parents in post-acute pediatric neuro-rehabilitation following brain injury"

"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"

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

"More play increases brain plasticity and makes for better recovery post brain injury"

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

"Families need to be properly supported as 'resilience' is key to delivering successful outcomes for children and young people."

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

"Often families don't have the financial capability to access services. We need to rethink how we deliver neuro-rehab services to children and young people"
