NCAA Information and Educational Programs & National High School Federation – Free learning course on concussion designed for coaches, but is very good. A 20 minute Internet program presented by a sports medicine physician who heads the Federation sports Safety Committee. Do not be intimidated by having to register and appear to pay for the course; it is FREE!! ImPACT is a computer-based Neuropsychological Testing system for four domains: verbal memory, visual memory, speed of processing and reaction time. For New Jersey, the “gold-standard” of computer-based neuropsychological testing done by high schools – and in primary care offices and concussion centers.
