Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4467270, member: 6677"] When my son had his concussion from football. he was unable to do any school work or attend classes for about two weeks as I recall. In addition to the concentration issues, he was somewhat light and noise sensitive for quite awhile even after he was cleared to go back to school. The school system required baseline neurological testing for any kid participating in sports. Post injury the tests were run again to see if there were any deficiencies in neurological function (there were) and the tests were repeated on a regular schedule until he was back to baseline. I'm sure college athletic programs follow a similar approach. His choice, but he never played football again after the concussion. He decided he wasn't an NFL prospect so he needed to take care of his brain. ;) [/QUOTE]
