comeback,

Since most school concussion policies are based on ImPACT and similar baseline testing protocols, the return to learn is not at the forefront. If you can get a copy of Dr Robert Cantu's new book, "Concussions and Our Kids" you will see where Dr Cantu promotes return to learn restrictions. Your school's disabilities department may be a good place to start. In the US, the ADA requires reasonable accommodations be made for those disabled and limited in a major life activity. Study and the ability to learn is a major life activity.

The Zurich Statement of Consensus says "The panel strongly endorsed the view that children should not be returned to practice or play until clinically completely symptom free, which may require a longer time frame than for adults. In addition, the concept of ‘‘cognitive rest” was highlighted with spe-cial reference to a child’s need to limit exertion with activities of daily living and to limit scholastic and other cognitive stressors (e.g text messaging, video games) while symptomatic. School attendance and activities may also need to be modified to avoid provocation of symptoms."

I can't imagine pursuing and engineering degree with PCS. I was taking physics classes along side mostly engineering students and pre-med students and the coursework requires a good size cognitive load.

I hope you can make some head way with your concept. Tuition credit should be a minimal standard. Tutoring when a slow return to cognitive effort is justified would be a great benefit.

My best to you.
