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 again seeing adults, adolescents, and middle school-aged children for in-office assessments.  Testing in person remains the most reliable method of assessment.  Disclosure sessions can occur via Doxy.Me, a secure, HIPAA-compliant online system.  However, at this time, due to waiting area limitations and social distancing requirements, Dr. Bryant is not currently seeing elementary school children aged 10 or under.  As further information becomes available about risk of infection and the course of the disease in Oregon, however, any or all of this may change.  SAFETY FOR ALL IS THE PRIORITY.

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