Cognitive Motion is a film company set up by the Discovery Programme at Headway East London. Headway support those with Acquired Brain Injuries and the Discovery Programme is a person centred occupational programme for their members to develop their ideas and projects. They’ve made a few other films (there’s more info and films on their blog) and we asked them to capture what HCCT meant to our members. We think it’s great; let us know your thoughts.
