Booking a return-to-play visit in South Dakota?
The largest concentrations of South Dakota concussion care are in Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Dakota Dunes (Sioux City metro). If the appointment is about getting a student athlete cleared after a concussion, South Dakota law decides whose signature the school must accept — under the current statute: any trained licensed provider. What that means in practice, and whether a return-to-learn plan is required, is covered in plain English on the South Dakota concussion law page.
