QUEEN ELIZABETH'S FOUNDATION FOR DISABLED PEOPLE
The Work of the Foundation
The Brain injury Centre is the only UK rehabilitation centre offering assessment, intensive neuro-rehabilitation and education for young adults aged 16-35, who have acquired disabilities and associated learning difficulties as a result of brain injury caused by accident or illness.
The Development Centre offers young people with complex disabilities the opportunity to gain the skills they need to move on to a lifestyle of their choice. Individual programmes focus on practical life skills, experiencing supported or semi-independent living, education and opportunities for employment or voluntary work.
The Mobility Centre is expert in providing mobility assessments, information and advice on driving, vehicle choice and adaptation to increase independence and improve quality of life. The Centre also provides training for professionals and Advanced Driving Instructors on disability awareness.
The Resource Centre is a focal point for disabled people living in N W Kent, providing a wide range of services, information and activities. Transport can be provided if required.
The Training College is one of only four pan-disability Colleges in the UK. It provides training for sustainable employment for adults with disabilities, especially those who have been forced to change career direction through accident or illness. Courses cover business, trade and technical subjects focused on a job market and leading to recognised qualifications.
