'Understanding Childhood ABI' Workshops

We know just how important it is for a child returning to school after an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) to receive the correct care and support for their new needs: educationally, emotionally and socially.

We are therefore proud to fund an amazing free-to-access workshop, run by the Child Brain Injury Trust, which provides interactive sessions exploring the issues facing children, young people, and their families following childhood ABI.

The quality of available support and knoweldge/understanding of staff within school can have a major impact on a child’s academic, social, and personal development. Yet, sadly, very few educational staff are made aware of, or taught to truly understand ABI and the issues a child may face on their return to school, as this is not covered by any basic training, even for Special Educational Needs staff.

That is why The Eden Dora Trust feels it is so important for these workshops to take place: providing an essential understanding and awareness of ABI, as well as the potential differing needs of the child(ren) in their care, for all educational professionals.

We are pleased to say that some workshops held in-person , whilst some are  e-learning workshops. These e-sessions are interactive and split over two mornings, exploring the issues facing children, young people and their families, following childhood acquired brain injury.
