N-ABLES are collaboratively aiming to raise awareness of acquired brain injury (ABI) in the education system.
😴 Fatigue after an acquired brain injury isn’t just “tiredness.” It’s a deep exhaustion that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
Our ABI Coordinators work with families and schools to create tailored rest plans, activity pacing, and tools to manage energy levels. 🧡
On #InternationalVolunteerDay, we celebrate our dedicated Steering Committee and advisory groups of esteemed education professionals and passionate experts by experience.
These exceptional colleagues volunteer their time and expertise to further N-ABLES goals!
The #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities emphasises dignity, rights, and well-being for those with disabilities. It calls for action to create an empowering world.

🌟 We recently launched our resource, the ABI passport!
📚 The passport emphasises the young person's voice, and is a way to help teachers understand more about their ABI.

"At the time me and my family knew nothing of ABI, so we had to learn very quickly"
Eden from our young experts group shared her #livedexperience with Acquired Brain Injury, emphasising the significance of advocating for others, especially those lacking a support network.
"I taught children with ABI and I didn’t know it, so how could I have given them the support they needed"
We are incredibly proud of Baroness Estelle Morris and Eden, a member of the N-ABLES Young Experts Group, for delivering a moving presentation at the #UKABIFSummit2025.
"Teachers have the professional skills to support these children, but don’t have the knowledge... there is a lack of consistent training for #ABI"
Joanna Woodhouse from N-ABLES shared insights from the Educators' Perspective at the #UKABIFSummit2025 symposium.
On #AntiBullyingWeek, it's vital to highlight the importance of creating nurturing, respectful environments, particularly in schools. If you have a student with an #AcquiredBrainInjury (ABI), understanding and empathy are crucial!
🔗 More information:
Dr. Hope Kent delivered an exceptional talk at the @ukabif.bsky.social #Summit2025. She shared her ongoing research, highlighting the lack of SEN support for young people with #ABI, as they aren't listed on the school census.
#BrainInjuryAwareness #EducationMatters #Inclusivity
The Q&A session with N-ABLES Dr Emily Bennett sparked intriguing conversations about recognising #ABI as a lifelong condition and addressing the postcode lottery of rehabilitation.
We stand behind Ashley's initiative to develop a thorough plan for ABI!
