"Brain development is complex and prolonged. Brain plasticity is influenced by a range of factors. Plasticity provides a base for neuro-rehab therapies and treatment"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

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

"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"

"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"

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