One-day
Annual Conference
Monday 10th November 2008. 9 am—5 pm
The East Midlands Conference
Centre
Nottingham
Following an acquired brain injury (ABI), children have unique
special needs and require these to be addressed on an ongoing
basis. This groundbreaking conference investigates the concept
of utilising education as rehabilitation. It will explore the
evidence base for this inter-disciplinary model of provision,
with the child and family being central to its success.
It is designed
for anyone with an interest or involvement with young people with
acquired brain injury.
