Lightbulb I'm new, my son has 3rd concussion and cannot comprehend what he read

Hello! I'm new here and am just starting to read through posts. My son suffered three sports-related concussions in 17 months. Each time, he went on "brain rest" and took at least a week off school. He is now about 2 months past his last concussion and says he can read a page of a novel three times and not remember what he read. He is a sophomore in high school and a high honor roll student. Reading comprehension has always been a weakness for him, but he has been able to struggle through novels and do well. Now he can't read even lower level books. I'll take any advice you have. He is seeing his specialist again in about a week.
