About the Practice
When disability or neurodevelopmental need makes sleep advice more complicated, specialist charity guidance can stop parents feeling blamed. Birmingham Cerebra Sleep Advice Service gives Birmingham families a route into sleep support when broken nights are affecting school, work, mood and family life. The focus is practical parent-facing support, with clear attention to SEND, neurodivergence and the limits of non-emergency sleep advice.
