Return to Learn After a Concussion

Описание: Learn how to effectively communicate with parents and school staff to ensure a successful return to learn for your patients.

Returning to Learn:

Many schools do not have the resources to establish a return to learn or activity protocol. In these instances, the healthcare provider will be the point person to help patients navigate their lives as they return to normal.

Start by recommending changes patients can make to their surroundings to support their symptoms. Here are a few examples:

Using earplugs to soften noise
Wearing a hat or sunglasses to shade light from their eyes
Communicating with their teacher or employer if they are feeling tired, overwhelmed, or need to take more breaks
Closing their eyes to focus on auditory skills and limit visual distractions
Allowing students more time for tests

All of these adjustments may seem minimal but they can have a huge impact in supporting children with concussions, adolescents, or adults returning to work. The goal is to encourage patients to get back to their routines instead of staying at home until they are 100% symptom-free.
