The OHSAA has made a concerted effort to provide educational resources to member schools on this vital topic of concussion management. The following are resources that are currently available:
1. Suggested Guidelines for Concussion Management in Sport – a publication from the NFHS - click here
2. Questions vital to diagnosing concussion – Q& A and a video from an ESPN special on concussions - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/e60/news/story?id=5162747
3. Concussion in Sports – What you Need to Know - A 20-minute course will be available by June 1 at no cost to the user and will be available on www.nfhslearn.com. The course was designed for coaches, parents, officials and students to assist in recognizing the signs and symptoms of concussion and to take the appropriate steps to manage them. The OHSAA strongly suggests that schools include this course in the preseason meetings with coaches, parents and students. To date more than 12,000 individuals across the United States have taken this course.

7. The OHSAA has adopted the following sports regulation:
Any athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion (such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion or balance problems) shall be immediately removed from the contest and shall not return to play until cleared with written authorization by an appropriate health care professional.
In Ohio, an “appropriate health care professional” shall be a physician, as authorized under ORC Chapter 4731 and includes both doctors of medicine (M.D.) and doctors of osteopathy (D.O.) and an athletic trainer, licensed under ORC Chapter 4755. The Association has not adopted any official form to be used by physicians or athletic trainers to authorize return to participation. The school and or the health care professional shall determine the form to be used. Please be advised that once the contest official has removed the player from a contest, the removal shall be noted on the score sheet, if one is used in that sport, and there is no further responsibility of that official to monitor this process. Such monitoring is the responsibility of the head coach in conjunction with health care professionals. The written authorization to return to play does not have to be provided to the official but shall be kept on file at the school.
