Services Available
Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies is offering both in-clinic appointments and telehealth as options for services.
We are following updated procedures and guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)and The Oregon Health Authority to help keep your family members and our Neuro team safe and healthy.
We kindly request you continue following our guidelines below for staying home if you have COVID or related symptoms. These guidelines remain unchanged and are in accordance with the CDC Return to Work Guidelines for Healthcare Providers.
Masking Guidelines Updated
As of April, 3, 2023, masks are optional in all our clinics, except for the following two scenarios:
- After a known exposure to COVID-19, individuals must mask for ten days per CDC guidelines.
- Presence of any respiratory symptoms. Symptoms from viral and bacterial illnesses can last for extended periods. Therefore, individuals with symptoms (such as coughing, sneezing, or a runny nose) are requested to wear a well-fitting mask, even if the risk of being contagious at the end of the illness is low.
In-Clinic Services
In order to keep everyone safe, we have the following requirements for all in-clinic services at this time.
- Please self-screen before entering our clinics. During check-in, we will no longer ask about your symptoms. However, we encourage you to monitor your health closely and be aware of any symptoms ranging from mild to severe.
- Contact us immediately if you, your child have symptoms of illness, have been exposed to COVID-19, or if anyone in your household has a positive COVID-19 test.
- Do not schedule or attend in-clinic visits if you have COVID-19. We will reschedule your session to telehealth or when it is safe to do so.
- Handwashing or the use of hand sanitizer is required upon entry.
