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.

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 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.

Contact us as soon as possible! Symptoms of Covid are: cough, fever, or shortness of breath. Kids with COVID-19 can also have other symptoms such as sore throat, headache, runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea.

Our waiting rooms are now open. Please come inside to check in for your appointment

While our office complies with the Oregon State Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention infection control guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we cannot make any guarantees.

Our staff are symptom-free and, to the best of their knowledge, have not been exposed to the virus. However, since we are a place of public accommodation, other persons (including, but not limited to, other clients, parents, and/or third parties) could be infected, with or without their knowledge.

Please also note that some individuals may be at higher risk of contracting COVID-19, or more likely to have complications if they get this illness due to preexisting conditions.

The CDC defines “Vulnerable Individuals” as people who have:

• Chronic lung disease or asthma
• Chronic heart condition
• Compromised immune systems, including cancer treatment, smoking, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and immune-weakening medications
• Severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher)
• Diabetes
• Chronic kidney or liver disease
• Age 65 years and older

We remain committed to supporting you/your child and family in the safest way possible. Adherence to these expectations is a requirement of all in-person services in all settings.

If you have questions about these and other steps that we have taken to help keep our clients and employees safe, please do not hesitate to ask. You can talk with your provider directly or email:
