What is this website?
The Cerebra Research Unit responds to questions from families about therapies and treatments for disabled children. We provide summaries of the evidence to help families make decisions, and where the evidence is lacking we conduct clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of interventions
Staff at the Cerebra Unit will be working in partnership with parents and carers of children with additional needs to ask and answer questions about services and treatments related to their children. It is also hoped that some children might like to be involved with the research unit.
To help us to do this we are developing ways to involve parents, carers and children, and this website is one way that we hope to be able to capture and understand your views.
The design and content of the website has evolved in partnership with a group of parents of children with additional needs.
Together we decided on:
- what the website should look like
- what information should be on the website
- the language that should be used
- the ways that people can interact with the website
- the content of the pages
As the website continues to grow, researchers, parents and children will continue to work together to ensure that we are providing a useful and useable resource.
