Concussion and other head injuries are a common occurrence, particularly among athletes. While most people recover from concussion injuries fully in a short period of time, an unlucky few have persisting symptoms, such as headache, vision issues, mental "fogginess", or a reduced ability to concentrate. Healing takes time, sometimes as much as a year or more, and this can cause real problems for a student trying to maintain good grades and progress toward graduation.
Every person with concussion or other head injury has a different, unique profile of weaknesses and strengths, and understanding the specific needs of the individual is the key to success. A comprehensive evaluation can support educators, students, and parents in developing an accommodation plan that will ensure success while healing and recovery continue.
