Resources & Information
Practical guidance and trusted information to help understand neurological and neurodevelopmental needs and support children and young people.
Guides & Information
Children and young people with neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions may experience a range of changes affecting thinking, learning, behaviour, emotions and energy levels. These difficulties can arise following brain injury, neurological illness, or developmental conditions that affect how the brain functions.
Understanding these changes can help families, schools and professionals provide the right support and create environments that enable children and young people to participate fully in everyday life.
The information below provides guidance about common cognitive, emotional and behavioural needs associated with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions. These resources aim to support understanding and provide practical information for families and professionals working with children and young people.
