The term "brain injury" covers a huge variety of conditions. At BIRD, we make no distinction between types of brain injury and aim to treat people of all ages and all levels of severity.
Many people with brain injury are born with the problem due to genetic reasons or complications during pregnancy and birth. Other people suffer trauma during their life from accidents, assaults and natural disorders such as strokes.
The people we treat may be affected by:

Stroke
Autism
Cerebral palsy
Congenital defects
Acquired head injury
Developmental delay

Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Hyperactivity/attention deficit disorders
Behavioural / emotional disorders
Other non - specific learning difficulties.
