Physical therapists can clear students after concussions

If a student shows signs of a concussion during a school sport, they must be taken out right away. They cannot return that day. They can return on a later day only after an evaluation and written clearance from an approved professional. The law now lets a licensed physical therapist provide that written clearance. This expands access to timely checks and a safe return to play.
