Webinar Overview: Creating a Brain Injury Aware School: Improve Inclusion, Attendance and Engagement for Pupils with an ABI🗓 Date: 7th October 2025🕓 Time: 4:00 PM
Join us for an essential and empowering TeachMeet focused on creating brain injury-aware schools that foster inclusion, support attendance, and boost engagement for pupils living with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).
This session will explore practical, school-level strategies that help educators better understand and meet the needs of young people with ABI. From recognising the impact of fatigue and cognitive challenges, to promoting peer understanding and inclusive participation, we’ll share actionable tools and insights to strengthen support across the whole school environment.
Our team will kick off each section by sharing personal experiences and “top tips” for teachers—providing invaluable real-life perspectives on what works best in the classroom and beyond.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Inclusion: Adapting school culture and classroom practices to meet diverse needs.
- Fatigue Management: Understanding and accommodating the hidden challenges of ABI.
- Peers and Participation: Encouraging social connection and meaningful engagement.
Whether you're a teacher, SENDCO, pastoral lead, or school leader, this webinar will leave you better equipped to support learners with ABI and build a more inclusive school community.
