The Children's Trust
Specialist Residential Neurorehabilitation
In 1985 we started the UK’s first paediatric brain injury rehabilitation service and today we run the country’s largest service of its kind from our national specialist centre in Tadworth, Surrey.
As one of the only services which can provide the most complex rehabilitation to children and young people with acquired brain injury outside of a hospital setting, our work sees us support children and young people aged 0 to 18 from right across the UK.
Our flexible services reflect the range of abilities and needs of children with brain injuries; from those who are minimally conscious to those who appear to have made a full physical recovery but are left with ‘hidden’ challenges with their cognition, memory, communication and behaviour.
Our services aim to:
- Maximise each child’s potential
- Restore lost skills where possible, develop new skills and provide compensatory approaches as needed
- Facilitate new learning beyond the end of the child’s natural recovery period
- Develop an understanding of the child’s strengths and needs
- Ensure the child’s home environment is modified for the way they will function after their brain injury
- Prevent secondary problems such as joint contractures developing and promote postural care
Neurorehabilitation programmes at The Children’s Trust are flexible and adapt to the needs of each child. Our multidisciplinary team offers an integrated approach to assessment and treatment. We combine medical care, therapy, education, play and family support to help children achieve their goals and maximise their ability to participate in family life and education when they go home.
