About
Akron Children's Sports Medicine offers pediatric concussion care recognizing that children's developing brains need specialized management. Athletic trainers use the SCAT-6 tool and perform clinical evaluation including neurological exam, memory tests, and balance assessment, then coordinate return-to-learn and return-to-play protocols with schools. Care can draw on physical therapy, the TBI/headache clinic, speech therapy, neurology, orthopedics, sports psychology, and ophthalmology, with appointments in Akron, Boardman, and Warren.
