Check for signs or symptoms when the student first arrives at your office, 15 minutes later, and at the end of 30 minutes. ; Students who experience one or more of the signs or symptoms of concussion after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head should be referred to a healthcare professional with experience in evaluating for concussion. For those instances when a parent is coming to take the student to a healthcare professional, observe the student for any new or worsening symptoms right before the student leaves. Send a copy of this checklist with the student for the healthcare professional to review. ; To learn more, go to cdc.gov/HEADSUP ; tbi_schools_checklist_508-a.pdf
