From the outside, it might look like an ordinary day. But for a child with an acquired brain injury (ABI), everyday moments can require much more energy than we realise. We’re here to help children and young people understand the impact of ABI and find ways forward that work for them. 💜

“But we don’t have any children with a brain injury in our school…” 📚 The truth is, you might, even if you can’t see it. Our dedicated ABI coordinators help schools recognise and support these hidden needs. And together, we can make sure no child is left behind. 🙏
