Brainwave supports children with physical and/or cognitive disabilities, whether caused by brain injury like cerebral palsy, a genetic condition like Down syndrome, autism, or general developmental delay, through the provision and promotion of specialist therapy. As the majority of our staff are now working from home, we need to have purchase more equipment for our ongoing 'virtual' support which will help the children during the next crucial stage of their developmental journeys and ensure these children with disabilities are able to get the vital therapy they need to reach their potential. We need to purchase 2 x HTC Vive Pro VR Virtual Reality Headsets @ £641 each, and one Lenovo IdeaPad S340 14" Laptop @ £549. The VIVE Pro comes with Chaperone Technology that re-creates a virtual outline of the environment, enabling you to see and feel the current surroundings without the need of removing the Head-mounted Display. With face-to-face paediatric therapy not currently feasible because of social distancing, virtual therapy sessions via video-link are the best way to continue the vital support we give to families.
