Neuro-disability refers to a broad spectrum of conditions caused by damage to the brain and nervous system, often resulting from injury or illness. These conditions are complex and can affect multiple aspects of a person’s physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.
The Impact of Neuro-Disability
For those living with neuro-disability, the journey is often marked by profound changes in daily life. Common challenges include:
- Communication: Difficulties with speaking, understanding, or expressing thoughts.
- Changes in Movement and Mobility: Limited body control and difficulties with walking or coordination.
- Nutritional Needs: Challenges with independent eating and maintaining balanced nutrition.
- Cognitive Changes: Memory loss, reduced information processing, and difficulty retaining new information.
While these conditions can be life-altering, they do not define the person. Every individual has their own story, goals, and potential, which is why our approach is entirely person-centred.
