Brain Injury, the Athlete and Your Child

The Sports Legacy Institute in combination with the Chicago Concussion Coalition presented a 2 hour program for coaches, physicians, parents, teachers and other interested parties this past Saturday at the Illinois Eye Institute in Chicago. Christopher Nowinski and Dr. Leonard Messner were the featured speakers. I had a small part to play in this program when I talked about how to treat the vision function and functional vision problems associated with brain injury.

Head injury and concussion information can be obtained from the CDC. DM

  2. Even if you feel the part you played in this program was “small,” the impact you might have had on the program’s attendees could have been quite significant. Football is one of the contact sports at the forefront of research into the effects of head injuries and concussion, and all participants should be applauded for helping educate the coaches, parents and students in attendance.
