Research

This work explores how SLPs are uniquely positioned to support students recovering from concussions—particularly in academic settings where cognitive-communication demands can be challenging during recovery.

​

Highlights of the Study:

• Surveyed professionals within CIF-SS on current practices and awareness.

• Identified key gaps in school-based concussion management.

• Advocated for stronger integration of SLPs in post-concussion care teams.

​

Why It Matters:

SLPs can play a critical role in:

• Supporting return-to-learn protocols

• Addressing cognitive-linguistic challenges post-concussion

• Collaborating with athletic trainers, educators, and healthcare providers
