Concussion knowledge has come a long way, but there continues to be disparities in who has access to concussion care and education. We also still have a lot to learn on how intersectionality impacts concussion recovery. Will be a fantastic discussion tomorrow👇 #RowansLawDay

Meaningful goal setting in concussion recovery is critical. Find the one thing that would make a big difference in the client’s life to achieve or do. Basing your recommendations around that goal can be pretty powerful in managing symptoms and preventing fear avoidance cycles.

Great work by the #PedsConcussion team, bringing forward more active recommendations to return to school after concussion “Complete absence from the school environment for >1 week is not generally recommended”

This is key. We do a lot of education on positive expectations, normalizing the symptom experience & limiting fear based language in clinic. Ensuring community education and media also limit these negative perceptions can decrease the distress and promote better recovery in kids.

One of the key takeaways from Steph McFarland presentation yesterday DSBN ICS “Learning is not a one size fit all, and we need to provide individualized approaches for children and teens.” #concussion #concussionawareness
