An accurate and reliable method for identifying athletes with head trauma, and a strong candidate rapid sideline screening test for concussion. The test is able to capture impairments of eye movement, attention, language and other symptoms of impaired brain function. It is a physical method of evaluating visual tracking and saccadic eye movements is based on the time to perform rapid number naming. It involves reading aloud a series of single digit numbers from left to right on three test cards. Participants are asked to read the numbers on each card from left to right as quickly as possible but without making any errors. The sum of the three test card time scores constitutes the summary score for the entire test. The test is a proven indicator of oculomotor inefficiencies regarding eye movements during reading. Published medical studies have determined that deficiencies in saccadic eye movements can be an indicator of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) or concussions. Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between poor oculomotor functions and learning disabilities (including dyslexia detection). Saccadic eye movement deficiencies can be improved with training and correspondingly reading performance also can be improved. Simply put, subjects who don''t perform well on this test are not efficient readers, although because there are many reasons for poor reading unrelated to eye movements, some poor readers do fine on the test. They believe that the test should be in the hands of teachers in order to help them determine if a student''s poor reading performance is related to deficiencies in their ability to move their eyes efficiently.

The mission of the Florida Brain Tumor Association (FBTA) is to provide hope, support and education to brain tumor survivors, their families and friends; to conquer brain tumors by funding research into their causes and cures; and to enrich the quality of life of those touched by brain tumors. In October, 1991, the Florida Brain Tumor Association (formerly South Florida Brain Tumor Association) began due to a desperate need from brain tumor survivors and families who were searching for support and a safe place to share their life changing experiences. Beginning in Boca Raton, Florida, as a grass roots organization and a handful of people, the first support group was conceived. Today, there are many additional FBTA support groups, from coast to coast in the state of Florida. The Florida Brain Tumor Association (FBTA) has become a major force in the brain tumor community. We host many fundraisers yearly, donating funds for research to brain tumor centers. The FBTA has hosted over 20 three day conferences, seminars and meetings, attracting thousands of survivors, families and health care professionals in the United States and Canada. Many of the most renowned physicians in the world travel from far and near to present at FBTA conferences. We are proud and grateful for their commitment and dedication to our cause. The FBTA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is supported by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations. We are the only organization of this kind, relying on the strength and dedication of our members, who are brain tumor survivors, family members and friends. Our Medical Advisory Board is also voluntary; we are very thankful to them for their generous gifts of time.
