Booking a return-to-play visit in Connecticut?
The largest concentrations of Connecticut concussion care are in New Haven, Hartford and Farmington. If the appointment is about getting a student athlete cleared after a concussion, Connecticut law decides whose signature the school must accept — under the current statute: specific professions named. What that means in practice, and whether a return-to-learn plan is required, is covered in plain English on the Connecticut concussion law page.
