Athlete Injury
- The SAIT student athlete concussion (or another injury) protocol has been in place for a number of years now in order to expedite temporary accommodations when a SAIT Trojan is injured.
- When a student athlete is injured, they are assessed by the SAIT Head Athletic Therapist. If a diagnosis is made that requires accommodations, the Athletic Therapist notifies Accessibility Services about the injury and the recommended temporary accommodation.
- Accessibility Services uses a standardized email template to notify the Academic Chair of the injury, outline what the recommended temporary accommodations are and include a timeline for the next steps. This is done in lieu of an accommodation memo due to the urgency of the situation.
- The Academic Chair is then asked to notify the student’s instructors of the temporary accommodations in place and expiry date. The student is then regularly monitored by the Athletic Therapist to determine if the timeline for accommodation needs to be extended.
