Workshops for Education Professionals

Did you know a child acquires a brain injury every 30 minutes in the UK? That equates to approximately 20,000 children every year?  89% of children with an acquired brain injury have no physical signs of disability.

Children with an acquired brain injury have very different needs to other children with special educational needs. CBIT's training on childhood acquired brain injury aims to fill this gap in knowledge. The workshops provide a no-nonsense, jargon free approach to childhood acquired brain injury.

You may think that you do not have any children with an acquired brain injury in your school — but due to the hidden nature of this disability how can you be sure?

That is why we urge professionals in Education to attend the workshop -

"Don't judge a book by its cover"
