Education Resources
Education plays a vital role in a child or young person’s life, and an acquired brain injury can significantly affect learning, behaviour, attention, and emotional wellbeing. Families and professionals may face challenges navigating school systems, understanding rights, and ensuring the right support is in place at the right time.
Our education resources are here to help. They provide clear, practical guidance to support children and young people in education, strengthen communication between families and schools, and help create inclusive, supportive learning environments.
