Sports Concussions Recivery Management Program

A concussion is a brain injury, and you do not have to lose consciousness to be diagnosed with a concussion. Concussion and Post-concussion Syndrome (a.k.a. Post-concussive Syndrome), can negatively impact a student’s overall physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning and well-being. Student athletes who have sustained a concussion, or who have been diagnosed with Post-concussion Syndrome, report a variety of challenging symptoms that may last a couple of weeks to several months or longer. Some of these symptoms include:

Difficulty with memory and thinking clearly
Problem concentrating
Difficulty with problem solving and paying attention
Constant head pain or feeling pressure in head
Feeling sluggish or “in a fog”
Balance problems
Chronic fatigue
Sensitivity to noise or artificial light
Unprovoked emotional outbursts, sadness, irritability, nervousness
Change in sleeping patterns
Vision challenges

It is not uncommon while recovering from a concussion or Post-concussion Syndrome to have difficulty maintaining academic success, engaging in social activities, or interacting with family members and friends.

Aspire Place Sports Concussion Recovery Management Program (SCRMP)©, is a one of a kind program that assists student athletes and their family members, athletic coaches and their medical staff, teachers and other academic support services throughout the student’s concussion and Post-concussion Syndrome recovery process.
