Speaker: Jennifer Jordan Hamson-Utley, University of St. Augustine and University of Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona, St. Augustine, FL
This session will present a multidisciplinary model to guide post-concussion care by structuring the physical and cognitive rest time spent away-from-sport and providing a supportive, educational recovery experience for the student-athlete. This session will highlight on-campus resources that can be interwoven into a comprehensive care plan post-concussion that can be adopted across NCAA institutions. Common symptoms will be linked to effective interventions. This session is for NCAA school administrators, coaches and athletic trainers.
