- CATT Parent/Caregiver Package
CATT Parent/Caregiver Package is an excellent 'starter resource' for any parent or caregiver who wants to learn more about concussions. It defines concussion and translates what we know about concussion science into a recommended 'injury pathway' for properly recognizing and responding to concussion. It includes forms to be used when a concussion assessment may need to occur (i.e. when a concussion is suspected and a visit to the family/clinic doctor is recommended), when a concussion has been diagnosed and a child/youth's return-to-school and play is being managed, and a medical clearance form that can be completed by a family/clinic doctor when concussion symptoms are no longer being reported and a full and complete return-to-school has occurred. - Knowing Your Role as a Parent/Caregiver in Your Child's Recovery
When a concussion occurs, find information about how to support your child's recovery and his/her return to school can be found. - CATT e-Learning Course for Parents
CATT e-Learning Course for Parents involves a series of online education modules and resources toward the goal of standardizing concussion recognition, diagnosis, treatment and management.
