The REAP Project, which stands for Remove/ Reduce Educate Adjust/Accommodate Pace is a community-based model for concussion management that was developed in Colorado.  The early origins of REAP stem from the dedication of one typical high school and its surrounding community. After the devastating loss of a student to “Second Impact Syndrome,” the Administrators, Teachers, Certified Athletic Trainer, School Nurse, School Psychologist and Counselors all banded together to create a wider safety net for all students in that school.  The net became stronger when parents and community medical professionals also worked together to coordinate care and recovery from concussion.  The lessons learned from this tragic event are that a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach is the foundation of good Concussion Management.

REAP is recognized internationally as a “go to” guide from the emergency department to school district to medical providers. REAP has been endorsed by the Iowa Concussion Consortium, the Iowa Department of Public Health and Iowa Department of Education as an available tool for Iowans in concussion management.
