Brain-injured children [international parents' network] "Over the past 9 years the Foundation has developed a unique information unit. The archives, originally sourced as research materials, or in response to external enquiries, now serve as a comprehensive collection of information about all aspects of brain injury and related matters." |
Cerebra - Foundation for the brain injured child "Our resources are freely available to parents and families of brain injured children, professionals working in the field, or in fact anyone with an interest in the subject. Our library holds approximately 3000 titles, about half of which are available for postal lending. We also subscribe to a number of Journals and hold back-issues to many of the important titles focusing on paediatric neurology, and we can supply photocopied extracts from the reference section for personal study." update 20/04/23: see also this page re Library (books) and Toy Library (sensory toys). |
