There has been an absence of research examining the availability of rehabilitation services for affected children and young people in low and middle income countries (LMICs). This study therefore investigated current rehabilitation provision in LMICs for children and young people with BI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online survey was developed which collected data on funding support for rehabilitation, causes of BI and access to services. The survey was distributed to healthcare professionals known to members of the research team. Participants were asked to forward the survey to other professionals in their networks. Representation was sought from as many LMICs as possible. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (e.g. percentages) and the Kruskal Wallis test to explore differences between Official Development Assistance (ODA) status (least developed, lower middle and upper middle) on access to services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 179 participants from 32 LMICs responded to the survey. Healthcare professionals from the least developed countries reported charities as the main source of funding to support rehabilitation, while those from upper middle income regions were most often funded by governments. According to healthcare professionals, the greatest cause of BI in LMICs was hypoxia. The Kruskal Wallis test comparing ODA status showed statistically significant differences in access to services for occupational (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.005), speech and language (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.038) and aquatic therapies (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001), cognitive (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and vocational rehabilitation (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.008), and community based inclusive development programmes (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.009).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a lack of equity in accessibility of rehabilitation services for children and young people with BI in LMICs, with some services being non-existent in lower income countries.
