Getting a concussion can have a large impact on a student's life and learning abilities. The Greater Essex County District School Board has gathered concussion resources to support parents and their children so they can be aware of the signs and symptoms, what to do if their child has been diagnosed and how it may affect their child's learning.
How we support your child
If your child had a concussion either at or outside of school, please contact your child's school. We will support your child with a OPHEA Return to School Plan.
