TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Adolescent concussion and return-to-learn JO - Pediatric annals A1 - Santiago, Sabrina SP - e73 EP - e75 VL - 45 IS - 3 N2 - Concussion is a common diagnosis in adolescents, particularly in those who play sports. Physical and cognitive rest is the mainstay of treatment. However, the guidelines for returning to full cognitive effort are more nebulous. This article examines the existing evidence on return-to-learn guidelines, and offers some ideas of school accommodations that can be made for students who have experienced a concussion. This article also reviews the situations in which it is recommended to seek guidance from a concussion specialist or sports medicine physician. [Pediatr Ann. 2016;45(3):e73-e75.]
