3 The REAP Projec which sands for Reduce Educae Accommodae Pace is a communiy-based model for Concussion Managemen ha was developed in Colorado. e early origins of REAP sem from he dedicaion of one ypical high school and i's surrounding communiy. A er he devasaing loss of a suden o Second Impac Syndrome, he Adminisraors, Teachers, Cerified Ahleic Trainer, School Nurse, School Psychologis and Counselors all banded ogeher o creae a wider safey ne for all sudens in ha school. e ne became sronger when parens and communiy medical professionals also worked ogeher o coordinae care and recovery from concussion. e lessons learned from his ragic even are ha a Muli-Disciplinary Team approach is he foundaion of good Concussion Managemen. e Muli-Disciplinary Teams: Family Team School Physical Team School Academic Team Medical Team ese eams work closely o wach and care for he suden/ahlee during his or her enire recovery from concussion. e wriing of REAP was funded by an Educaion Gran from he Colorado Traumaic Brain Injury Trus Fund in From 2009 o 2010, REAP was piloed a eigh HealhONE Emergency Deparmens and four school disrics. In one year ( ), he REAP projec received more han 150 referrals of sudens/ahlees evaluaed in Emergency Deparmens (ED) for concussion. A er leaving he EDs, families, schools and communiy medical professionals were quickly conaced by he REAP Projec and educaion and communiy collaboraion commenced immediaely. Counless more REAP referrals sponaneously developed in communiies via word of mouh beween parens, physicians, schools and disrics. e shor-erm and he long-erm benefis from REAP have been overwhelmingly posiive. REAP is coninuing o expand across Colorado as a model program for Communiy- Based Concussion Managemen. I is a model ha empowers schools, school disrics, families, sudens and medical professionals o come ogeher o coordinae, collaborae and o help young people achieve he safes recovery from concussion.

4 Medical noe from Sue Kirelik, MD, Direcor of Pediaric Emergency Medicine, Rocky Mounain Hospial for Children a Sky Ridge Medical Cener, REAP Medical Advisor. > > > > > > > > > Newer recommendaions are ha children and eens should be reaed much more conservaively han aduls when i comes o concussion. The developing brain is very differen from he adul brain; i is much more likely o manifes sympoms laer and have longer erm problems when injured, especially if he child is no allowed o res and recover. Because each concussion and each child is differen, grading scales are no longer recommended. Care for each child and each concussion mus be individualized. TRUE or FALSE? TRUE or FALSE? A concussion is jus a bump on he head. A paren should awaken a child who falls asleep afer a head injury. False! Acually, a concussion is a raumaic brain injury (TBI). The sympoms following a concussion can range from mild o severe and usually involve: confusion, disorienaion, memory loss, slowed reacion imes and exreme emoional reacions. The severiy of he sympoms canno be prediced a he ime of he injury. False! Curren medical advice is ha i is no dangerous o allow a child o sleep afer a head injury, once hey have been medically evaluaed. The bes reamen for a concussion is sleep and res. TRUE or FALSE? A concussion is usually diagnosed by neuroimaging ess (ie. CT scan or MRI). False! Concussions canno be deeced by neuroimaging ess; a concussion is a funcional no srucural injury. Concussions are ypically diagnosed by careful examinaion of he signs/sympoms of concussion a he ime of injury. The cause of sympoms during a concussion are hough o be due o an ENERGY CRISIS in he brain cells. A he ime of a concussion, he brain cells (neurons) sop working normally. The fuel (sugar) ha is needed o generae aciviy for playing and for hinking- is simply no being delivered efficienly o he cells. As a resul, a sympom will flare. I is he brain s way of elling he body ha i is no working properly. While a CT scan or an MRI is ofen used o rule ou more serious bleeding in he brain, i is no a diagnosic es for concussion. A negaive scan does no mean ha a concussion did no occur.

5 Did You Know... >> More han 80% of concussions resolve very successfully if managed well wihin he firs hree weeks pos-injury. 1 REAP sees he firs hree weeks pos- injury as a window of opporuniy. Research shows ha he average recovery ime for a child/adolescen is abou hree weeks, slighly longer han he average recovery ime for an adul. 2 >> e REAP projec works on he premise ha concussion is bes managed by a Muli- Disciplinary Team ha includes: he Suden/Ahlee, he Family, various members of he School Team and he Medical Team. e unique perspecive from each of hese various eams is essenial! >> e firs day of he concussion is considered Day 1. e firs day of recovery also sars on Day 1. e REAP Projec can help he Family, School and Medical Teams mobilize immediaely o maximize recovery during he enire hree week window of opporuniy. TRUE or FALSE? Loss of consciousness (LOC) is necessary for a concussion o be diagnosed. False! According o he American Academy of Neurology (AAN), a concussion is any raumaically induced aleraion in menal saus ha may or may no involve a loss of consciousness. CDC repors ha an esimaed 1.6 o 3.8 million spors- and recreaion-relaed concussions occur in he Unied Saes each year. 3 Niney percen of concussions do no involve a loss of consciousness. While many sudens receive a concussion from spors-relaed aciviies, numerous oher concussions occur from non-spors relaed aciviies from falls, from moor vehicle, bicycle and playground accidens. Message o Parens To maximize your child s recovery from concussion, double up on he R s. REDUCE and REST! Insis ha your child res, especially for he firs few days pos-concussion and hroughou he hree-week recovery period. Some sympoms of concussion can be so severe on he firs day or wo ha your child may need o say home from school. When your child is a school, reques ha he/she be allowed o si ou of spors, recess and physical educaion classes immediaely afer he concussion. Work wih your Muli-Disciplinary Concussion Managemen Team o deermine when your child is ready o reurn o physical aciviy, recess and/or PE classes (see PACE). Don le your child convince you he/she will res laer (afer he prom, afer finals, ec.). Res mus happen immediaely! The school eam will help your child reduce heir academic load (see AC- COMMODATE). However, i is your job o help o reduce sensory load a home. Advise your child/een o: avoid loud group funcions (games, dances) limi video games and ex messaging limi reading and homework A concussion will almos universally slow reacion ime; herefore, driving should no be allowed pending medical clearance. Pleny of sleep and quie, resful aciviies afer he concussion maximizes your child s chances for a grea recovery! page 1

7 Afer your child/suden has been evaluaed and deermined o have a concussion, There is One Immediae and Essenial Focus >> Reduce he poenial of furher injury or sress o he brain! Wih concussion, i is imporan o reduce boh physical AND cogniive demands! Jake Snakenberg April 19, Sepember 19, 2004 In he Fall of 2004, Jake Snakenberg was a freshman fooball player a Grandview High School. He likely susained a concussion in a game he week prior, however, he did no fully undersand ha he had experienced a concussion and he did no repor his sympoms o anyone. One week laer, Jake ook a ypical hi in a game, collapsed on he field and never regained consciousness. Jake passed away from Second Impac Syndrome on Sepember 19, Mos of us know ha when an ahlee is injured, sress on ha injured area needs o be immediaely reduced. If an ahlee sprains an ankle while running a marahon, he immediae acion is o remove he runner from he race. Wih proper managemen of he injury and gradual rehabiliaion, he ahlee may be allowed o run again in a laer race. Ahlees know ha following injury, immediae removal from aciviy and gradual reurn o aciviy is necessary o avoid serious, long-erm physical effecs or he poenial for re-injury. Following a concussion, he suden/ahlee should be removed from spors, recess, physical educaion classes, ec. unil furher noice (see PACE). In he marahon of life, a concussion is much like he sprained ankle i is an injury o he brain. Since he brain is he organ responsible for managing all moving (physical) and hinking (cogniive) funcions of he body, boh physical and cogniive demands on he brain mus be reduced during recovery from concussion. Reducing jus he physical demands alone (and no he cogniive demands) may delay or hamper recovery. Since school is he place where hinking demands are a heir highes, REAP places grea emphasis on helping he School Team-Academic (ST-A) undersand heir par in concussion managemen. In REAP, he ACCOM- MODATE page will help schools provide sraegies for cogniive reducion in school. In rare cases, an unresolved concussion may se he sage for permanen brain damage and/or deah. is phenomenon, known as Second Impac Syndrome (SIS), heoreically can occur when a second blow o he head is susained before he firs concussion has healed. 4 e concern for SIS in he developing adolescen brain has led o he pracice ha concussion sympoms should be 100% resolved before furher significan physical or cogniive sress is encounered.

The course of recovery depends 100% on he on-going (someimes daily) monioring, managemen and resoluion of sympoms! >> STEP 1: Educae...Know he Sympoms Knowing if he suden/ahlee is recovering from he sympoms of concussion and how he suden/ahlee is recovering from his/her sympoms is sill he bes measure of recovery. erefore, i is essenial ha everyone undersand, recognize and be mindful of ALL sympoms relaed o concussion. Every sympom is imporan. e common sympoms of concussion cluser in general caegories: PHYSICAL How a Person Feels Physically Headache/Pressure Blurred vision Dizziness Poor balance Ringing in ears Seeing sars Vacan sare/glassy eyed Nausea Vomiing Numbness/Tingling Sensiiviy o ligh Sensiiviy o noise Disorienaion Neck Pain COGNITIVE How a Person Thinks Feel in a fog Feel slowed down Difficuly remembering Difficuly concenraing/easily disraced Slowed speech Easily confused Medical Box I is no appropriae for a child or adolescen ahlee wih concussion o Reurn-o-Play (RTP) on he same day as he injury, regardless of he ahleic performance. 5 Consensus Saemen on Concussion in Spor: he 3rd Inernaional Conference on Concussion in Spor, Zurich 2008 EMOTIONAL How a Person Feels Emoionally Inappropriae emoions Irriabiliy Personaliy change Sadness Nervousness/Anxiey Lack of moivaion Feeling more emoional MAINTENANCE How a Person Experiences Their Energy Level and/or Sleep Paerns Faigue Excess sleep Trouble falling asleep Drowsiness Sleeping less han usual orough sympom monioring is he key o good managemen. erefore, REAP srongly suggess ha all Muli-Disciplinary Concussion Team members, especially he suden/ahlee, learn o rae sympoms on a severiy level of 0 o 6. Assigning numbers o sympom inensiy provides an objecive measure and a common language for all eam members o undersand (see he Sympom Checklis in he APPENDIX). IMPORTANT! All sympoms of concussion are imporan; however, monioring of physical sympoms, wihin he firs 48 o 72 hours, is criical! If physical sympoms worsen, especially head-ache, confusion, disorienaion, vomiing, difficuly awakening, i is ofen a sign ha a more serious medical condiion is developing in he brain. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!

REAP has developed a suggesed imeframe o check and monior sympoms over a hree-week period. REAP has also assigned recommended responsibiliies o cerain eams o manage specific sympoms. As every concussion is differen and unique, each Concussion Managemen Team mus remain fluid and flexible. REAP is based upon he premise ha here are a few elemens ha are essenial o any good concussion managemen program. ose essenial facors are: A Muli-Disciplinary Team Team members who provide muliple perspecives of he suden/ahlee AND Team members who provide muliple sources of daa As long as a school/communiy can accommodae for he essenial elemens lised above, he principles of REAP (aka good concussion managemen) can be applied successfully across any communiy or school disric. On a case-by-case basis, each Muli-Disciplinary Team should uilize he guidelines recommended in REAP o deermine: Message o Educaors REAP canno sress enough managemen of concussion requires ha here is an equal parnership beween he members of he school eam who manage physical reducion and hose who manage cogniive reducion. See ACCOM- MODATE for how o reduce cogniive load. e REAP Manual canno prescribe who will be on each eam differen schools have differen resources and no all schools have all resources. However, mos ypically, he ATC, School Nurse (or Healh Aide) o en acs as he ST-P. In some creaive school disrics, a well-educaed Coach or Office Manager has aced as he ST-P. Similarly, ypically he School Psychologis/Social Worker or Counselor o en acs as he ST- A. However, on occasion, a very dedicaed General Educaion Teacher has served as he ST-A. coninues on nex page Who will be on he Family Team (FT)?

10 page 6 EDUCATE Rocky Mounain Youh Spors Medicine Insiue In order o obain a common language beween all Concussion Managemen Team members, an objecive measure of sympoms has been found o be helpful. erefore, one imporan suggesion in REAP is ha he REAP Manager (on each paricular concussion case) ake responsibiliy for meeing wih he suden (daily or a specified inervals, see REAP TIMEFRAME) o help he suden/ahlee rae sympoms. Areas of sympom concern/improvemen are hen shared wih he oher eam members responsible for managing differen sympoms. is allows for immediae accommodaions/adjusmens o be made. In our experience, he majoriy of communicaion occurs beween eam members via phone or . Formal meeings have rarely been necessary. e REAP Projec promoes beer managemen of concussion hrough beer managemen of informaion and beer coordinaion beween eam members. REAP realizes ha every communiy and every school disric has srenghs and limiaions. If resources allow for only one Poin Person a a school, i is imporan ha ha one person be equally commied o managing all sympoms cogniive, emoional, mainenance, as well as, physical sympoms. I is possible ha in some smaller communiies, here may only be one person on a School Team who hen has o manage boh Physical and Academic responsibiliies. a one school Poin Person can sill parner wih someone from he Family Team and ogeher, hey can parner wih someone from he Medical Team. REAP feels ha more eyes on he concussion and more varied perspecives (even if only hree perspecives!) lead o beer decision-making. e REAP model does no depend upon more Ciera was 15 years old when she suffered a concussion while playing baskeball. Her sympoms of passing ou, consan headaches and faigue plagued her for he remainder of her freshman year. A few accommodaions helped Ciera successfully complee he school year.

Since having a brain injury, I don really see words on he board, I jus see leers. Therefore, having he noes beforehand akes some of he frusraion off of me and I am able o concenrae and reain wha is being augh in class. Being able o res in he middle of he day is also very imporan for me. I become very faigued afer a morning of my rigorous classes, so my counselors have helped me adjus my schedule which allows me some down ime so I can keep going hrough my day. Lasly, aking ess in a differen place such as he conference room or eacher s office has helped a grea deal. CIERA LUND resources. Insead i depends upon he srengh of a srongly educaed and well-coordinaed eam. e REAP Projec is happy o provide suppor and educaion o your communiy, no maer wha your unique needs may be. We are confiden ha he essenial elemens of good concussion managemen can be achieved in any communiy wih a lo of good inen and a lile creaiviy! Medical Box Monday Morning Concussion Sympoms of a concussion may no develop immediaely afer he injury. In fac, sympoms may appear hours or even days laer. One common scenario is when a suden/ahlee suffers a concussion on a Friday or Saurday, perhaps during a sporing even. The suden/ahlee may have a quie weekend wih few or no sympoms. I is no unil hey reurn o school on Monday, when he hinking demands from schoolwork increases, does he suden/ahlee begin o experience sympoms. I is imporan o recognize ha hese sympoms are relaed o he concussion. Sudens, parens and educaors mus learn o wach for delayed sympoms. In addiion, hey mus pay aenion o he aciviies ha worsen hose sympoms afer hey appear. -Sue Kirelik, MD, Direcor of Pediaric Emergency Medicine, Rocky Mounain Hospial for Children a Sky Ridge Medical Cener, REAP Medical Advisor

This concep of keeping he suden involved and engaged in academics, in spie of he concussion, is very imporan. While cuing back on he cogniive load, he school eam mus devise a plan o keep he suden academically condiioned and engaged in learning hroughou he enire hree-week recovery period.

Medical Box The newes research shows ha neuropsychological esing has significan clinical value in concussion managemen, especially wih eenagers and especially when baseline scores are available. The addiion of neuropsychological ess is an emerging bes pracice. However, limied resources and raining are a realiy for school disrics. An exensive lis of paper and pencil neurocogniive ess known o be sensiive o TBI can be found a Wheher or no a school disric chooses o include any ype of neurocogniive esing, REAP is sill he foundaion of he Concussion Managemen program. Daa gahered from serial pos-concussion esing (by Day 2/3, by Day 7, by Day 14 and by Day 21, unil asympomaic) can only serve o provide addiional informaion.

13 Managemen of Concussion is Difficul Because i is a Moving Targe A medical docor, wheher in he Emergency Deparmen or a a follow-up clinic, canno predic he lengh or he course of recovery from a concussion. In fac, a docor should no longer ell a family ha a concussion will resolve in X number of days because every concussion is differen and each recovery ime period is unique o he suden/ahlee. The bes way o assess when a suden/ahlee is ready o sar he sep-wise process of Reurning-o-Play is o ask hese quesions: Reurn o Academics Afer a concussion, one of he firs decisions a paren has o make is... should my suden/ahlee go o school? If so, when? Every suden/ahlee is differen and heir reurn o school will be based upon heir level of sympoms in he days following he concussion. As a rule of humb, a suden/ahlee may reurn o school while sympoms are sill presen bu are improving. REAP would no sugges, however, ha a suden/ahlee reurn o school if sympoms are severe (ie exreme headache, severe nausea, vomiing, major dizziness, ec.) Since sympoms are usually only severe for he firs day or wo following a concussion, i is perfecly accepable for a suden/ahlee o miss a day o wo days of school (wih severe sympoms) in he very beginning of he recovery. Rarely, however, would a suden/ahlee need o miss more han a few days of school due o a concussion. When he suden/ahlee DOES reurn o school, he paren MUST inform he school abou he concussion and he school MUST consider puing academic accommodaions in place. The level of academic accommodaion should be based upon he individual needs of he suden/ahlee. Once he suden/ahlee is a school, increasing heir cogniive load should be gradual and should follow roughly he same principles as he graduaed Reurn-o-Play. For example, he suden/ahlee will likely have olerable sympoms upon heir reurn o school. As sympoms improve, he cogniive demands can be slighly increased. Do sympoms reurn or ge inolerable? If so, reduce menal aciviy and res for 24 hours. If no, cogniive demands can coninue o be increased slowly. Remember: he suden/ahlee mus be funcioning successfully (academically) a school before he/she can be considered ready o sar he graduaed Reurn-o-Play progression. >> Does daa from muliple perspecives and muliple sources sugges ha all sympoms have resolved? >> Do all sympoms say resolved even wih exerion and even when medicaions are no longer being used? >> Is he suden/ahlee funcioning back o baseline academically (and/or on measures of cogniive abiliies)? ST/A The answers o hese quesions can only be available on a daily basis o he suden/ahlee, he family and he school eam(s). Even he mos involved medical professional will likely no be able o see he suden on a daily basis; herefore, periodic sympom assessmen mus be colleced by he Family and School Team(s) and mus be shared wih he Medical Team. The key o success is communicaion and collaboraion! In he spiri of eamwork, he decision for he suden/ahlee o begin he graduaed Reurn-o-Play (RTP) proocol and reurn o 100% paricipaion in physical aciviies canno and should no be made by any one single member of he eam. For example, an ATC should no reurn a suden/ahlee o conac spors wihou family/educaor/medical professional inpu and suppor. Likewise, a communiy medical professional should no make a Reurn o Play decision wihou family and school inpu.

15 Special Consideraions >> When Sympoms do no Resolve as Expeced Approximaely 10% o 20% of concussions do no resolve in one o hree weeks. When, and if, sympoms (physical, cogniive, emoional or mainenance) do no resolve as expeced, i is suggesed ha he suden/ahlee work wih heir medical professional o pursue a more specialized oupaien evaluaion (medical, neuropsychological or psychosocial). As saed hroughou his manual, an uncomplicaed concussion will generally resolve wihin one o hree weeks. Excep for he mos acue phases of he concussion (usually Days 1 or 2), i is no advised for suden/ahlees o be absen from school due o he concussion. In an exremely rare case in which long-erm sympoms of he concussion resul in an exended absence from school, i would be bes for he suden/ahlee o be considered for assessmen and/or services under a 504 Plan or IDEA /Traumaic Brain Injury. 6 I is beyond he scope of his manual o speak o assessmen and programming for brain injury. Many school disrics have Brain Injury Teams, which can provide suppor. Some Deparmens of Educaion have a regional TBI Coordinaor available for saewide consulaion. Educaors can find guidelines for brain injury a Oher brain injury resources are lised in he RESOURCES secion. Medical Box >> Long-Term Monioring Sudies have had difficuly esimaing he rue number of sudens/ahlees who may iniially recover well from a concussion bu suffer laer from learning, emoional or behavioral issues. Are hose problems relaed o he earlier concussion? No one can say for sure, bu educaors suspec here may be some connecion especially in he case of muliple concussions. e REAP Projec provides a model by which families, schools and medical professionals can manage he concussion in he shor-erm hree weeks. However, i has become clear ha REAP provides a more global gi. In he process of managing a concussion for hree weeks, he suden/ahlee becomes known o a muli-disciplinary eam. As he suden/ahlee progresses beyond he concussion, he family, he school and he medical professional become cognizan of he injury and can rack he suden/ahlee forward. >> If physical sympoms reurn or are exacerbaed, immediae medical aenion can be sough. >> If emoional or personaliy changes are noed by parens, hey can voice heir concern o schools or medical professionals. >> If learning or behavioral changes are noed by he school, eam members will know o quesion heir connecion o he recen resoluion of he concussion and can pursue assessmen or inervenion. In an academic seing, his abiliy o recognize problems and inervene early is consisen wih he federal mandae of Response o Inervenion (RTI). Sudens who have Aenion Deficis, Learning Disabiliies, a hisory of migraine headaches, sleep disorders, depression or oher psychiaric disorders may have more difficuly recovering from a concussion. Sudens who have had muliple concussions, a recen prior concussion or who are geing sympomaic afer less impac may be a risk for long-erm complicaions. Research suppors he fac ha a person who susains one concussion is a higher risk for susaining a fuure concussion. 7 REAP provides a emplae by which concussions can be racked forward. Wih REAP, good concussion managemen does no end wih he hree-week recovery of a single concussion. In he shor run, REAP raises awareness o assure ha all sudens/ahlees fully recover, one concussion a a ime. In he long run, REAP places responsibiliy on he communiy o assure ha, wih he knowledge of pas concussions, we keep sudens/ahlees safe from he vulnerabiliy of fuure concussions SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS page 11
