[edit] Goals

Cerebra works to ensure that up to date, evidence-based knowledge is available and applied for the prevention of brain damage and for proven treatments to treat conditions such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, learning difficulties, attention deficit, behavioural and emotional problems or developmental delay.

In addition to the programme of research carried out at UK hospitals^[1], universities and Cerebra's centre, they co-ordinate a Parent Support department, providing support, information and research. They also organise a wide range of training seminars, workshops and projects for parents, professionals and children themselves.

Cerebra's Information Unit provides specialist information to anyone concerned with brain injury, including professionals from the medical, educational, legal, therapeutic, and welfare fields.
