BIRD do a huge amount of fantastic work and bring hope to people with brain injury and learning difficulties
BIRD is an independent charity which has existed since 1982 to provide its unique approach to the treatment of neurological impairment known as 'Developmental Reflexive Rehabilitation'.
Being told that your child may have some kind of neurlogical disordercan be a frightening experience for any parent. BIRD may be able to help.
They treat people with Cerebral Palsy, communication disorders, autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and other neurological impairments.
Removing the barriers to learning can allow a child to achieve their full potential
Please give as much as you can to help this worthwhile cause
Thanks
Richard
