Building Bridges: Integrating professional practice and lived experience in paediatric neuropsychological rehabilitation

Event Notes:

We are excited to invite you to a groundbreaking event that will redefine approaches to paediatric neuropsychological rehabilitation. At Recolo, we’ve always valued professional expertise, but this year we’re taking a bold step forward—merging professional insights with the invaluable perspectives of those with lived experience.

This conference brings together leading national and international clinicians, practitioners, and people with lived experience for in-depth presentations that push beyond the boundaries of traditional neurorehabilitation. You’ll have the opportunity to learn directly from those shaping the future of our field.

Why is this conference crucial?

We acknowledge that the impact of childhood brain injury and cerebral palsy is complex and enduring, affecting not only the children but also their families and support networks. This event offers practical ways of working with young people and the people supporting them, addressing the real challenges professionals and families encounter. Our objective is to provide co-produced content by experts by experience alongside therapist-led neuropsychological initiatives, delivering rehabilitation that fosters hope, resilience, and real change. Most importantly, we aim to amplify the voices of children with brain injury and their families, ensuring their experiences inform the future of neurorehabilitation.

•   Learn from experts by experience: Explore how integrating lived experience challenges and expands the traditional role of neurorehabilitation for children and their families.
