The Delivery of Paediatric Neuropsychological Rehabilitation in the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Survey from the UK Paediatric Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Specialist Interest Group (PNRSIG)

The Covid-19 pandemic has driven a radical shift in practice for services to be able to provide remote neuropsychological interventions for children, young people and their families. This survey aimed to understand the changes in the delivery of paediatric neuropsychological rehabilitation during and after the first national lockdown. It sought to explore what could be learned from experiences across services in the UK. Thirty-six members of the PNRSIG responded to the survey questions. These questions addressed change in the delivery methods of individual work with children, young people and families as well as work with schools. The survey included respondents’ qualitative reflections on the adaptation to services. The discussion describes the implications for the future of service delivery with particular consideration of the access implications of remote service provision for vulnerable children and families.
