SB Athletes Now Provided Free Concussion Baseline Testing

South Bend School District is now utilizing an innovative program for student-athletes that will assist physicians in evaluating and treating traumatic brain injuries (e.g., concussion).  To help healthcare professionals better manage concussions sustained by our athletes, we have acquired ImPACT (Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) software.  ImPACT is a computerized exam used in many professional, collegiate, and high school sports programs across the country.  If an athlete is believed to have suffered a head injury during practice or competition, ImPACT is a tool that can be used by a healthcare professionals to evaluate the severity of the head injury and the athlete’s recovery from that injury.

ImPACT baseline testing will be provided free of charge on August 15, 2016 at 1:00 pm in the high school computer lab to all South Bend student athletes.  Please see the links below for more information and permission/declination forms, or contact South Bend Athletic Director Tom Sanchez at:  tsanchez@southbendschools.org
