@GemEKelly talks about CYP post ABI returning to sport. WHY they participate - (sense of identity, physical & emotional benefit, friendships) and HOW they do it - with aids & adaptations, others wanted to participate in the same way they did pre-injury. #NPBIC22 @Childrens_Trust

[Gemma Kelly @GemEKelly]

@DawnMPickering @Childrens_Trust Really enjoyed yours too!

[Melanie Burrough @MelanieBurrough]

Fantastic presentation from @GemEKelly Exploring how CYP return to physical based activities following #ABI and the impact & influences of the environment and communities @Childrens_Trust #NPBIC22

Ableism is a real issue- often the narratives people with disabilities hear around them develop feelings of shame of their disability. We need to make sure we are not living with the assumption that disability is a tragedy. From Dr Joanna Atkinson #NPBIC22 @Childrens_Trust

[Gemma Kelly @GemEKelly]

Why do we talk about hard to reach or non compliant families? Often families believe in the value of services but a wide variety of barriers prevent engagement…Thought provoking insights from @DrMPhoenix #NPBIC22 @Childrens_Trust

[Gemma Costello @CostelloGem]

Fantastic presentation from @Rachyk77 sharing preliminary results of her PHD highlighting the importance of participation, activity, leisure and quality of life. What do our interventions need to look like for holistic long term care? #IPBIS2022
