Return-to-academics (RTA) for student-athletes with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is crucial, but relatively understudied compared to return-to-play (RTP). The transient and unpredictable nature of symptoms surrounding mTBI often results in underreporting of neurocognitive symptoms, leading to a greater susceptibility for repeated TBIs, as well as posing impediments to the process of RTA. Athletic Trainers (ATs) and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are in a unique position to help student-athletes achieve a safe, timely, and effective RTA following mTBI. They typically work in middle/high schools and collegiate-level academic settings and often serve as members of concussion management teams. Compared to other allied health professions, ATs and SLPs are relatively new professions with evolving scopes of practice. Despite established guidelines and recommendations for their scope of practice in treating student-athletes with mTBI, there is a lacuna in research regarding their individual and collaborative roles in achieving RTA. The current scoping review was conducted with the main goal of exploring published literature pertaining to the roles of ATs and SLPs in achieving RTA for student-athletes with mTBI. Current implications, recommendations for integrating pre-service interprofessional education (IPE) experiences, and future directions for AT-SLP collaborations are discussed.
