Concussion recognition and directing to care considerations in younger children.

As with older children, the role of caregivers, teachers, educators, and coaches is essential in ensuring concussion recognition. Concussion in early childhood primarily happens within home, childcare, or school setting. The role of parents, caregivers, educators, and teachers is especially important in detecting a suspected concussion. Provide these key interest holders with concussion recognition tools that present age-appropriate concussion signs and symptoms.  

 Recommended concussion tools to share with parents, educators, teachers, coaches, and other individuals working with young children; 

• COCO Early childhood detection tool (English, French) 

• COCO Educational kit (English, French) 
• Concussion Recognition Tool-6
