Cerebra’s Parent Guides

 

 

Families where a child has a brain condition face challenges every day. Just to learn, play, make friends and experience the world can feel difficult, even impossible. But we don’t believe there’s any challenge that can’t be overcome.

So we listen to families, we learn from them. We carry out research, we design and innovate, we make and share. From new equipment to new learning resources, to new ways to play and support each other, everything we find out together makes life better, It opens doors to discovering the world.

It’s an incredibly rewarding journey for everyone involved. Why not be a part of it? You never know what we’ll discover together.
