Evaluations Relating to Health Concerns

Many health conditions can cause cognitive changes.  Head injury/concussion, metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, and seizure disorders are all examples, but there are many, many more.   

Medical conditions can affect the cognitive functioning of  individuals of any age.   For adults, work, parenting, and important relationships can all be affected.  College students can struggle to keep up with work for their classes, and at times, grades and progress toward graduation can be affected. 



For children and adolescents, medical difficulties often impact school performance, sometimes quite significantly.  Often, school personnel are very aware of how learning disabilities and typical developmental disorders, such as ADHD, affect school achievement, and have established procedures and interventions that have been shown in research studies to work well for most students with these concerns.  However,  medical conditions can affect students in very unique ways, and this often requires a much more individualized approach.  A thorough evaluation of the student's unique strengths and challenges can greatly facilitate this process.

Concussion/head injury can also be a significant cause of educational difficulties, and students recovering from these injuries often need support at school.  Again, a thorough assessment can help.

COVID-19 Special Information:  Dr. Bryant is seeing fully vaccinated adults (18+) and students 12-17 years of age for in-office assessments, as testing in person remains the most reliable method of assessment.  Masks will be worn at all times, as per Oregon Health Authority guidelines, which STILL REQUIRE masking in health care settings.  Disclosure sessions will occur via Doxy.Me, a secure, HIPAA-compliant online system.  Please note:
Dr. Bryant is no longer evaluating children not yet 12 years of age. 

Thank you for your patience in this unprecedented time!!  STAY SAFE, STAY WELL!!!
