The Young Experts by Experience in Acquired Brain Injury Group (YEBEABI)

The Young Experts by Experience in Acquired Brain Injury (YEBEABI) is a diverse group of young people who have all experienced an acquired brain injury in childhood or adolescence. We support each other, share experiences, and raise awareness of ABI within education, by discussing support strategies that we found helpful during our own return to education. We use our knowledge to create useful materials for teaching staff such as our ‘5 top tips’, our ABI profile/passport, and presentations/training, because it is important to us that everyone has proper education regarding what having an ABI really means. Our mission is to create positive experiences in education for others who have brain injuries and make sure that everyone knows that you can still do amazing things, even if you have an ABI! Victoria Lyon and Amelia Jones are delighted to be representing the group at the National Head Injury Conference.
