We try to provide products and services that give practical support and assistance to help directly improve the lives of children with brain related conditions as well as providing information to help parents and carers to optimise the quality of life of their child.
The most direct way in which we offer support is financial assistance through our grant scheme, Speech and Language Therapy voucher scheme and Wills and Trusts scheme. We try to give practical and emotional support through services such as our sleep service and our stress helpline.
Cerebra's Innovation Centre is on hand to provide adapted equipment and bespoke solutions to problems when there is nothing on the market to meet a need.
We provide information in various ways, including through our postal lending library, which loans books relating to neurological conditions and sensory equipment.
We aim to educate both parents and professionals through our e-learning course and we offer CPD courses to better educate professionals to be better able to deal with these special children.
The Cerebra Centres of Excellence, also referred to as our Academic Chairs, carry out research into brain injury and related topics. More specifically:
- Prevention of brain injury and neurological conditions in children and young people
- Therapeutic interventions for the treatment of brain injury and neurological conditions
- Socio-economic, medico-legal, educational issues surrounding brain injury a neurological conditions.
We also carry out secondary, desk based research in an aim to provide the best information we can to the people we help.
