🧠 Not all disabilities are visible, and that’s especially true for acquired brain injury.

A child may look okay on the outside, but inside, they could be struggling with memory, fatigue, or sensory overload.

We’re here to help families navigate those hidden challenges with practical strategies, school support, and understanding that goes beyond the surface. 💛

When someone has a neurological condition or a brain injury, physiotherapy is very different compared with someone who has a sports injury, for example.

It’s more complex and everyone is completely different. Here, Guy Stewart, neuro-physiotherapist at Richardson Care explains that it’s a life-long process. He adds: “Quite often, you won’t be able to restore someone’s physical abilities to how they were pre-injury, but you can make them as good as they can be. Then it’s really important to maintain that level.”

We have service users of many nationalities and cultures at Richardson Care and we like to learn about different traditions. The guys at our long-term community neuro rehab home in Boughton Green Road had a special meal to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We paid tribute to the red envelope tradition by holding a red raffle, in which every service user received a gift with a red theme.
