Iowa schools receive updated guidelines for concussion management Travis K. Fischer Mid-America Publishing A mind is a terrible thing to waste. To that end, the Iowa Depart- ment of Education and Iowa Department of Public Health have come together to update the state’s guidelines for how schools respond to students that suffer from concussions. A concussion is a type of brain injury that can commonly occur during a crash, fall, or particularly hard hit to the head. “Any time that your head gets knocked around or bumped into, it could lead to a concussion,” said Maggie Ferguson, the Brain Injury and Disability Program Manager at the Iowa Department of Public Health. Along with the archetypal “see- ing stars,” symptoms of a concus- sion can include more lasting side effects that occur days later, such as headaches, blurry vision, and dizziness. It can also affect a per- son’s energy levels, sleep habits, and even emotional state. Most concussions will resolve themselves within two or three weeks, but it’s important to make sure that students get the rest and recovery time they need, partic- ularly before going back into a situation where they might expe- rience another hard blow. In 2011 the state passed a law - garding concussions, however that law only impacted students from grades 7-12 that were par- ticipating in school sanctioned sports. In the school environment, football is most commonly asso- ciated with concussions, and the guidelines were designed around making sure student athletes were fully recovered before returning “The law really focuses on re- turning student athletes to play,” said Ferguson. “We wanted to shift that.” Following their collaborative workgroup, the new school con- cussion guidelines are now ex- panded to all students, whether they participate in sports or not. In effect for the 2017-18 school year, now for a high school stu- dent that gets in a car accident or an elementary student that slips on the ice and bangs their head, schools have a set of guidelines to use when it comes to accommo- dating their recovery. “We really took a step back from talking about sports really specif- ically or singling out a particular athletic sport,” said Ferguson. “These are voluntary guidelines that are really designed to impact students regardless of their age or where they were injured.” When it comes to helping a stu- dent recover from a concussion, the guidelines don’t merely rec- ommend removing the student from physical activity like athlet- ics and PE, but any activity that might over-stimulate the brain, such as band or choir. Adjustments should also be made for that student’s mental workload, giving their brain a chance to rest. This could include adjusting due-dates for home- work, giving the student a copy of the teacher’s notes, or assign- ing an academic “point person” to help them. “Some students, if they are experience fatigue, might need some structured breaks in their day or a reduced school day,” said Ferguson. A student recovering from a concussion does not need to be completely symptom free before returning to school, but a lighter cognitive workload is recom- mended during their recovery. Teachers can gradually increase cognitive demands on the student over time as symptoms start to fade away. The guidelines also recommend coordination with the student’s family. When at home, students should be encouraged to rest, lim- it social stimulation, and family members should monitor symp- toms such as sleep habits and emotional state. “It’s all about communication, tracking symptoms, and making sure that the student is supported in the classroom,” said Ferguson. This community based con- cussion management program is largely adapted from Dr. Karen McAvoy’s “REAP” or Remove/ Reduce, Education, Adjust/Ac- commodate, and Pace, laying out the steps that should be taken to facilitate concussion recovery. The REAP program was adopt- ed by the Brain Injury Alliance of Iowa in 2016 and has been endorsed by both the Iowa De- partment of Education and Public Health. If families have any questions about concussions or need sup- port, Ferguson recommends that they call the Brain Injury Alliance of Iowa, an advocacy group that can provide educational resources to people that have suffered brain injuries. 33% of high school athletes who have a sports concussion report two or more in the same year www.headcasecompany.com There are many ways to get a concussion.
