About Brainwave
Registered charity numbers: 1073238 and SC039137

Brainwave has been delivering essential therapies to children with disabilities for over 40 years. Brainwave’s multidisciplinary team consists of qualified Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Learning Development Support Workers. Our Therapy Programmes are based on the principle of neuroplas

ticity – helping the brain find new pathways in the neural network by providing regular repetition of newly acquired skills. Children who couldn’t move, now walk, who couldn’t make a sound, now giggle and whose low attainment at school, is now greatly improved. We support children with various conditions including cerebral palsy, autism, development delay, and Down syndrome. We also support children with no official diagnosis and can assist families in accessing our Therapy Programme through a means-tested Priority Fund. Brainwave is an independent UK charity that complements the NHS. However, we do not receive any statutory funding and rely on voluntary donations to run our service.

🎈 Celebrating Children's Achievements🎈
At Brainwave, we believe every achievement deserves to be celebrated, no matter how big or small.

Last year, children on a Brainwave therapy programme were awarded 204 Certificates of Achievement, recognising milestones that help them gain greater independence and confidence in everyday life.

These achievements include:
✨ Sitting independently
✨ Better sleeping
✨ Learning to crawl and pull themselves up to cruise
✨ Sitting unaided and army crawling
✨ Improved self-regulation
✨ Greater tolerance of messy play

We're also proud to share that 92% of families supported by Brainwave reported significant progress for their child.

Behind every achievement is a child working hard, a family showing incredible dedication, and a journey towards unlocking potential.

Every child is unique, which is why our therapy programmes are tailored to support their individual needs and goals. Whether you're looking to help your child develop mobility, communication, independence, confidence or everyday life skills, our team is here to support you.
