A seminar on ImPACT

A couple of weeks ago, a few of my colleagues and I travelled to Pittsburgh to attend a seminar on the use of the ImPACT software for TBI testing.  (Never mind that Pittsburgh is a really tough place to navigate for someone who has never been in the city.)  The course was an excellent presentation that offered a full explanation on how to interpret the scores that student-athletes will receive after taking the exam.  It also was highly productive in understanding some of the errors that may occur in the test because the student athlete did not follow directions on the exam.  While I have had some previous experience with the software, hearing about some of the subtleties of the scoring will certainly help in the interpretation of the scores.  I am looking forward to implementing the program in full after the first of the year.
