Concussion feels like an airplane that is on cruise control without a pilot. In this talk, Annegret Dettwiler-Danspeckgruber shares the elusive and invisible nature of concussions as well as the short term and long term effects of concussions.

Originally from Switzerland, she graduated with a Doctor of Education from the department of bio-behavioral studies and movement sciences at Teacher’s College at Columbia University in 1999.
