Planning a summer holiday this year?
More and more holiday providers are recognising the needs and preferences of disabled travellers - but a little forward planning can still make all the difference.
Have you travelled after a brain injury? We’d love to hear what worked for you (or what you wish you’d known). Share your experiences in the comments.

💬 "We need more neurodivergent people taking part. That's not just as participants, but also involved in designing, developing and delivering the research."
Social media influencer @neuro_lou is a co-investigator on the NIHR-funded ORIGIN programme. The programme is designing an online arts and culture platform to support mental health in underrepresented 16- to 24-year-olds, including neurodivergent young people.
Now she is encouraging more neurodivergent people to get involved in research - as both participants and by helping to design, develop and deliver studies.
