No diagnosis? You can still speak to us.

You may know that your child needs some extra help, even if you do not yet know why.

That’s okay.

Brainwave supports children with many different needs, including those who do not have a diagnosis or have a syndrome without a ...name.

We will listen to you.
We will learn about your child.
We will explain what’s next.

You do not need to have all the answers before you contact us.

Clark’s Story 💙

Clark has 1p36 Deletion Syndrome, a rare chromosome disorder. He began having epileptic seizures at five months old and has been following a Brainwave Therapy Programme since 2016.

Clark has a learning disability, developmental delay, visual and hearing ...impairments, sensory processing disorder, epilepsy and cardiomyopathy. He is nonverbal and has limited mobility, although his mum says he can crawl for miles for the right biscuit!

After other parents recommended Brainwave, Clark’s family contacted the team and felt they had found something special from the very first call.

During his assessment, the therapists listened to the family and identified areas where Clark needed support, including mobility, communication, sensory integration, engagement and independence. They created a personalised programme of small, achievable activities that the whole family could work on together at home.

Since then, Clark’s mobility has developed enormously. He can crawl and bottom shuffle between rooms and manage stairs. With support, he can also stand from a kneeling position.

His communication continues to grow too. Clark can make choices using objects and photographs, giving him a way to express himself. Makaton has also helped his family communicate with him and reduced his frustration.

Clark’s sensory programme includes swinging, bouncing, rolling and playing with pasta, play dough and slime. With repetition and encouragement, experiences that once felt impossible are becoming possible. He recently went bowling, coped brilliantly with the lights, music and crowds, and even got a strike! 🎳

Told by his mum, Laura

“Brainwave has changed our son’s life, our family’s life and the way we see our once bleak, now bright future. Clark’s world has opened up and continues to grow.”
