The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust

The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) is a division of The Disabilities Trust and the means by which The Disabilities Trust provides its brain injury services. 

Brain Injury is non-discriminatory - anyone can be affected at any age, at any time of any background, often referred to as a 'hidden disability’ because although those affected sometimes show few physical signs of change; they can face enormous cognitive, personality and behavioural challenges. 

Rehabilitation helps them to reconstruct who they are - from relearning the basics of eating, talking and walking, to finding and adapting new ways to deal with changes in memory, judgement and behaviour.
