Charity offers vital help for teachers to better understand brain injury
With one child in every classroom affected by a brain injury, neurorehabilitation experts from The Children’s Trust have launched an innovative programme to increase awareness and understanding of the condition.
The online programme is written from a teacher’s point of view and is delivered through a 30-minute interactive session. This takes the user through the school environment, presenting some of the challenges a child with a brain injury may face during the school day. This may include fatigue, difficulty forming and keeping friendships, and difficulty remembering instructions.
The free introductory session, funded by the Constable Education Trust, is set in the context of the school and classroom and aimed at those with little or no knowledge of acquired brain injury (ABI). In due course, The Children’s Trust will introduce a follow-up session for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of childhood brain injury.
