Sarah Rolfe

Sarah has worked within the specialist area of paediatric neuro-disability for the past 13 years.  During this time she has gained significant and varied experience in assessing, treating, managing, and co-ordinating the care of children and young adults with a wide range of complex presentations.  Diagnoses that Sarah has worked with include Cerebral Palsy (GMFCS levels 1-5), acquired brain injury, neuro-muscular conditions, as well as children with profound and multiple learning disabilities and developmental delay.  Sarah also has experience of the post-operative rehabilitation of children following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR), Botox, serial-casting, soft tissue surgery and bony surgery.  This is alongside optimising spasticity management and developing effective postural management programmes that can be practically implemented by families, carers, and within a school setting.

Sarah’s employment experience has involved working with children and young people from age 0-19 years and across a range of services including an early year’s service, mainstream schools and special schools.  She is adept in supporting clients and their families in accessing education, home, leisure and community activities from diagnosis/early intervention, through adolescence and into early adulthood.  Many of the children who Sarah has worked with present with a range of co-morbidities including profound, multiple and complex disability, communication difficulties, learning difficulties, visual and hearing impairment, epilepsy, feeding/swallowing difficulties, and pressure care issues.
