Abstract
Concussions are prevalent in youth and often contribute to occupational challenges related to postconcussion syndrome within the educational setting. Despite the advancements that have been made in the occupational therapy management of concussion, school-based occupational therapy practitioners are seeking clarity in service delivery because there is no clear framework that guides service provision for postconcussed youth within the educational setting. In this column, we emphasize the role of school-based occupational therapists as an existing source of support within the school structure, describe school-based occupational therapy as a viable service for postconcussed youth, and highlight a feasible framework that can be applied to service delivery within the educational setting to support the recovery of postconcussed youth.
