Don't feel guilty! You've all done the right things in terms of sports activitives and slowly building her back up. School - as long as it is low stress - which it sounds like it is - and it does't make her symptoms worse - I'd have her go. The schedule and routine are good for them.

I also don't think you've done anything to slow down recovery. My daugher is at the 5 month mark and she's still not in school. For the past 3 weeks she's has been working daily with a tutor on only one class and we are slowly building up from this. She tried school for 2 periods last week and did ok. I tried to have her go yesterday, but she didn't make it due to a bad headache. I think we'd have less issues transitioning back into school if her injury hadn't happened 7 weeks into her freshman year. If she were back in 8th grade or if she were a sophomore it would be much easier.

Every situation is different and there is no one size fits all recovery plan. As a parent, we take in all the information we can - from the doctors, internet, other parents, etc - and make the decisions that feel right for our kids. Noone knows them better than we do. I am confident that you would have looked elsewere if you thought your neuro & pyschologist were off base.
