RI H7903

Requires the Rhode Island Department of Education to develop a standardized form describing optional, nonmedical academic accommodations for students diagnosed with concussions or brain injuries

Mandates public education providers implement immediate and temporary accommodation plans within 10 school days of receiving written notification from a parent or guardian about a student's concussion diagnosis

Accommodation plans must address physical activity limitations, document symptoms and challenges, and identify appropriate academic, social-emotional, and behavioral supports for the student's recovery

Schools must communicate accommodations to all teachers, school nurses, counselors, coaches, athletic trainers, and staff who supervise the student, with plans reviewed at least every two months

Expands the definition of "healthcare professional" to include chiropractors, naturopathic physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners for concussion evaluations
