An acquired brain injury is damage to the brain occurring after birth, for example due to stroke, cerebral haemorrhage, illness, oxygen deprivation or an accident. Its effects depend on the location and extent of injury and may affect physical, cognitive, emotional and social functioning.
Do you recognize these symptoms and everyday challenges?
Brain injury can make personal care, household tasks, work, education and relationships more difficult. Fatigue, slower information processing and problems with memory or planning may be invisible to others. Structure, aids, fewer simultaneous demands and rehabilitation can support participation.
