Missouri AT Call to Action

AT Call to Action: MoATA Sponsorship of Brain Injury Association Programming

The MoATA calls upon our member ATs and supporters to share the this important Brain Injury Association Programming with teachers, coaches, athletic administrators, and anyone else who works with youth sports. MoATA has sponsored this event to raise awareness and increase access to this information by youth sport stakeholders.

Titled, "Sports Concussions: Facts, Fallacies and New Frontiers  2021", The Brain Injury Association of Missouri program will be held in a virtual format that will allow teachers, coaches, and other school personnel who may not be able to get away during a school day to hear from experts on developments in concussion management. This will include four 30–60-minute sessions available on demand starting in January and a live "Concussion Discussion" to answer questions and fill in the gaps (in early February). Space is limited. So register today!

Attendance is FREE, but registration is required

The keynote session is an introduction to ‘Get Schooled on Concussion’, an innovative tool for teachers to identify helpful academic adjustments for any student who has a concussion. All Missouri schools will have access to this on-line, interactive tool for a year.
