My Kid Hit Their Head, Now What?
Description
A head injury can be a pivotal and overwhelming moment for families, teachers, coaches, and medical professionals supporting a child with ADHD. The unique cognitive and emotional challenges posed by ADHD can prolong recovery for concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), creating a ripple effect across home, school, and sports environments. Attendees will discover evidence-based strategies to address the crossover and magnification of ADHD and concussion recovery, cultivate collaboration between parents and professionals, and prepare environments for academic, emotional, and physical rehabilitation. With the highest number of concussions occurring in younger ages, it is imperative parents, educators and coaches understand the implications for recovery and strategy implementation, as frequently the usual applied approaches fail to work in these scenarios.
