ImPACT Concussion Baseline Testing Available

Any Huntington High School student-athlete in a fall contact sport (football, soccer and field hockey) is invited to take the ImPACT concussion baseline assessment. This is a free service for student-athletes.

The assessment evaluates the brain’s ability to remember words and symbols as well as reaction time. While there is no grade given for the assessment, an athlete should complete each part of the evaluation as quickly and as correctly as possible. There is a 45-minute time limit.

Those who complete the evaluation will know it has been recorded successfully when they get to the page asking if they would like to print or email their results. There is no need to do so, they may simply close out the program once they reach that page.
