Concussions can cause learning and (sometimes) emotional/behavioral problems.
100% of students with a concussion must return to school even if they never return to sport.
The good news is that the majority of concussions heal within 1 to 4 weeks, especially with quick and simple supports from public and private schools. Let us help your teachers learn strategies to support students as they Return to Learn following a concussion.

Are you ready to Get Schooled On Concussions?
The Alabama Head Injury Task Force and Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) launched our Return to Learn/Concussion Management System for Alabama Public and Private School Teachers K-12. Alabama State guidelines and legislation exists for Return to Play decisions after concussion. The Alabama Head Injury Task Force and ADRS realized a need for Return to Learn/Academic Re-entry Guidelines, which include cognitive rest. Many other states are using the same Get Schooled on Concussions - Return to Learn Protocol, which was developed by Dr. Karen McAvoy in Colorado. This tool is now in Alabama, sponsored by the ADRS Traumatic Brain Injury Program, www.getschooledonconcussions.com/alabama, and the Return to Learn Protocol, and it is called the TACT (Teacher Acute Concussion Tool). The TACT includes short tutorial videos and educational cut sheets about concussions in the general education classroom and provides weekly email reminders to teachers.
