You will surely learn a lot about concussions, mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) and returning students to the learning environment after head injury. This half-day workshop will investigate (1) the mechanisms of injury, (2) specific formal and informal assessments needed to identify and diagnose TBI, (3) several effective classroom interventions and (4) prevention strategies (of course!) 

We will discuss options for feasible adjustments to the educational experience including the need for 504 Accommodations Plans and ongoing monitoring of student improvement. We will also address the need for a small percentage of students who can benefit from more extensive supports through an Individualized Education Plan under I.D.E.A.

This is valuable information for general education and special education teachers, all related service personnel (OT, PT, Speech, School Psychologists, Counselors, school nurses), District Risk Managers, athletic coaches and trainers, and especially parents. Interested community members are always welcome.

Please come and join us for a FREE, fun, and fact-filled morning of learning and feedback.
