1 TEACHER PACKET Information for Teachers o Signs and Symptoms of Concussion Return to Academics Progression Accommodations Suggestions Accommodations Plan from Healthcare Provider Page 1 of 5
2 INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS Concussions are brain injuries and can be serious. In the first few days following a concussion, complete cognitive and physical rest are needed for the brain to heal. Complete rest means not taxing the brain with physical or cognitive demands. This isn t like the flu, where students can complete school-work while at home. They must rest. YOU PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ENSURING THE SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY OF A CONCUSSED STUDENT. Every concussion is different. Students heal at different rates. It will be necessary for you to monitor the student and report any worsening symptoms to the Concussion Management Team Communication Coordinator. SIGNS (OBSERVED BY TEACHERS): Student appears dazed or stunned Seems confused Forgets class schedule or assignments Moves clumsily (altered coordination) Exhibits balance problems Answers questions slowly Repeats questions Shows changes in mood, behavior or personality (irritability, sadness, more emotionality, nervousness) Forgets events prior to hit or fall Forgets events after the hit or fall Loses consciousness (even briefly) SYMPTOMS (REPORTED BY STUDENT): Headache or pressure in head Foggy or hazy feeling Nausea or vomiting Double vision, blurry vision Sensitivity to light or noise Feeling sluggish, fatigued or groggy Problems concentrating Problems remembering Just not feeling right or feeling down Difficulty thinking clearly Balance problems or dizziness Numbness or tingling Sleep problems The Concussion Management Team will provide you with a Gradual Return to Activity Plan, which will indicate the temporary accommodations required for optimal healing. BE FLEXIBLE. MOST OF THE TIME, CONCUSSIONS HEAL IN 2 3 WEEKS. The Return to Activity Plan is a medical decision with input from all members of the Concussion Management Team. Page 2 of 5
3 RETURN TO ACADEMICS PROGRESSION Progression is individual. All concussions are different. Students may start at any of these steps, depending on symptoms, and remain at the step as long as needed. Return to previous step if symptoms worsen. Be flexible. Steps Progression Description 1 HOME Total Rest Stay at home No driving No mental exertion computer, texting, video games, homework 2 HOME Light Mental Activity Stay at home No driving Up to 30 minutes mental exertion No prolonged concentration Progress to Step 3 when student handles up to 30 minutes of sustained mental exertion without worsening of symptoms 3 SCHOOL Part Time Maximum accommodations Shortened day/schedule Built-in breaks Provide quiet place for scheduled mental rest Lunch in quiet environment No significant classroom or standardized testing Modify rather than postpone academics Provide extra time, help and modified assignments Progress to Step 4 when student handles minutes of sustained mental exertion without worsening of symptoms 4 SCHOOL Part Time Moderate accommodations Shortened day/schedule No standardized testing Modified classroom testing Moderate decrease of extra time, help and modification of assignments Progress to Step 5 when student handles 60 minutes of mental exertion without worsening of symptoms 5 SCHOOL Full Time Minimal accommodations No standardized testing; routine tests are OK Continued decrease of extra time, help and modification of assignments May require more support in academically challenging subjects Progress to Step 6 when student handles all class periods in succession without worsening of symptoms AND receives medical clearance for full return to academics and athletics 6 SCHOOL Full Time Full academics No accommodations Attends all classes Full homework and testing When symptoms continue beyond 3 4 weeks, prolonged in-school supports are required. Request a 504 meeting to plan and coordinate student supports. Page 3 of 5
4 ACCOMMODATIONS SUGGESTIONS As a professional educator, there is much you can do to help your students recover from concussions and help their brains heal. Symptoms of concussion may impede information processing speed and the ability to handle a full load of work. You can provide accommodations for these temporary learning disabilities. The mental effort to prepare for and then take tests may worsen symptoms. Some students with symptoms of concussion exhibit the same characteristics as seen in ADHD. Physical exertion may increase symptoms. Students report that one of the scariest things they experience after concussion is changes in mood. Some students are sensitive to light and/or noise after a concussion. Postpone or stagger tests. Avoid doubling up on tests. Provide shortened tests or extend time to take tests. Modify assignments and homework. Limit the number of problems, questions or pages to read. Emotional pressure can increase symptoms. Concussed students will often exhibit temporary learning difficulties similar to those associated with ADHD (see below). Modify assignments Select the most important concepts. Deliver instructions in smaller chunks. Excuse from (or un-weight) specific tests and assignments. Remove or adjust large projects during the first critical three weeks. Allow more time to complete tests. Use a reader or recorded books for assignments and testing. A buddy might be used to read assignments aloud. Provide written instructions for homework. Provide pre-printed class notes or allow other students to share their notes. Allow the use of a tape recorder. Use a smaller, quieter exam room or use a quiet part of the classroom. Move the student to a seat in front of the class. Seat away from windows, doors other distracters. Allow for a temporary tutor to assist in organizing and planning work. Allow another student to help access school resources. Excuse from sports, PE, weight-lifting, cheer, band. Reduce backpack weight by keeping textbooks in the classroom. Allow time to visit the school counselor, nurse or psychologist. Assign a buddy to help talk to the student, listen and calm the student when upset. Make arrangements to provide the student with a quiet supervised place to go to regain composure. Let students know that this is one of the symptoms of concussion. Permit sunglasses or caps with visors indoors. Permit ear protectors (not music). Provide a quiet alternative place to eat. Cafeterias are loud and bright. Allow extra hall passing time or allow student to leave early to the next class to avoid hallway chaos. Turn down lights in one area of the classroom. ACCOMMODATIONS PLAN FROM HEALTHCARE PROVIDER (SAMPLE) Page 4 of 5
5 Student: Date of Evaluation The signs and symptoms of a concussion can persist for days or weeks and can greatly affect learning. Sometimes symptoms may persist for months or longer. Daily check-ins with the student are recommended. The accommodations may need to change before the student s next medical appointment. The Concussion Management Team can make minor adjustments to the accommodations as needed. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS No school until specified, to be reviewed on Abbreviated daily class schedule (every other day, shortened day) No physical education classes (including weight training, aerobics, yoga) Consider reducing make-up work to critical work only No testing (e.g., midterms, finals, standardized) during recovery period, until student is cleared RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COGNITIVE ISSUES Provide extended time to complete assignments and/or shortened assignments Provide extended time to take tests in a quiet environment Provide a quiet environment to take tests Provide written instructions for homework Provide class notes by teacher or peer Allow use of notes for test taking due to memory issues Consider using tape recorder for note taking RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FATIGUE/PHYSICAL ISSUES Allow time to visit school nurse for treatment of headaches or other symptoms, if needed Allow rest breaks during the day, if needed Allow "hall passing time" before or after the crowds have cleared Allow student to wear sunglasses indoors to control for light sensitivity Allow student to take lunch in quiet space to allow for rest and control for noise sensitivity RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EMOTIONAL ISSUES Share progress and difficulties with parents, school nurse, counselor, medical provider and athletic trainer Develop an emotional support plan for the student, which may include an adult with whom the student can talk if feeling overwhelmed Licensed Healthcare Provider Phone Address Page 5 of 5
