  1. ATTN:   ALL PARENTS AND LHS ATHLETES Concussion screening is now available at LHS. Please take advantage of this free test. Forms are available at Mr. Genova's office as well as via email on lancer flash news and via the LHS Football Parents Association. More information: ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is the first; most-widely used, and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system. Developed in the early 1990's by Drs. Mark Lovell and Joseph Maroon, ImPACT is a 20-minute test that has become a standard tool used in comprehensive clinical management of concussions for athletes of all ages. Given the inherent difficulties in concussion management, it is important to manage concussions on an individualized basis and to implement baseline testing and/or post-injury neurocognitive testing. This type of concussion assessment can help to objectively evaluate the concussed athlete's post-injury condition and track recovery for safe return to play, thus preventing the cumulative effects of concussion. In fact, neurocognitive testing has recently been called the "cornerstone" of proper concussion management by an international panel of sports medicine experts. Get tested! It's a FREE test that is invaluable in detecting and managing concussions. What is more important than the safety of our children!   Forms are available at Mr. Genova's office as well as via email on lancer flash news and via the LHS Football Parents Association.
