Welcome to the Cerebra Network

We are a UK-based academic team that integrates knowledge, expertise, and resources across four leading institutions to deliver greater insight into neurodivergent children and children with rare and complex syndromes. Our research specialises in four key areas of autism, mental health, sleep, and behaviours that challenge.

 

​Our aim is to improve developmental, health, and well-being outcomes for children and their families by improving the research evidence that underpins clinical assessment and interventions (see Research for more information). We also want to increase access to tailored clinical and educational support and so have developed a range of resources to facilitate this – you can find out more below.
