Evaluation 04
Brain Fog & Post-Illness Cognitive Evaluation
Brain fog is measurable. Here it is measured.
Following long COVID, autoimmune disease, chemotherapy, concussion, chronic pain, sleep disorders, or the perimenopausal transition, testing identifies which cognitive systems are affected and how severely. Naming the change precisely is what makes it treatable, and what makes it credible to an employer, a physician, or an insurer.

Losing the thread mid-task
Reading takes twice as long
Exhaustion after mental effort
An employer requires documentation
An insurer requires objective data
What the evaluation includes
Measured, not estimated
Each area below is assessed with validated, age-normed measures and interpreted together rather than in isolation.
Illness and symptom timeline
What changed, when it changed, and how it has moved since — mapped carefully.
Speed and efficiency measures
The systems most often affected after illness are tested directly and precisely.
Cognitive fatigue assessment
Performance measured early and late in testing, because decline over time is often the finding.
Functional translation
Scores connected to the specific tasks that have become difficult at work and at home.
Expected timeline
From first call to feedback
A small number of evaluations are scheduled each month, so each stage receives the hours it requires.
Consultation
15 minutesA short call about the illness and what changed after it.
Step 1 of 5Interview
Week 1Medical timeline, current symptoms, sleep, mood, and demands.
Step 2 of 5Testing
Week 1–2Four to six hours of measures, paced to capture fatigue rather than mask it.
Step 3 of 5Interpretation
Week 2–3Pattern analysis and report writing.
Step 4 of 5Feedback
Week 3What is affected, by how much, and what supports recovery.
Step 5 of 5
What patients receive
What you leave with
Objective documentation
Measured evidence of the change, in a form employers, physicians, and insurers accept.
A precise profile
Which systems are affected and which are intact, rather than a single global impression.
Cognitive rehabilitation guidance
Pacing, compensation, and evidence-based strategies matched to your specific profile.
A retest baseline
Scores that let recovery be tracked rather than guessed at.
Frequently asked
Questions people ask first
My other tests were all normal. Will this show anything?
Often, yes. Bloodwork and imaging examine structure and physiology; cognitive testing examines function. Changes invisible on a scan are frequently measurable on testing.
Will this help with a disability or accommodation claim?
The report provides the objective, normed data these processes require. It documents function honestly; it does not advocate for a predetermined conclusion.
Is brain fog permanent?
Frequently not. Many post-illness profiles improve substantially, particularly with pacing, sleep, and targeted strategy. The testing establishes where you are starting from.
What if I am too fatigued for a long session?
Testing is scheduled across shorter sessions when needed. Fatigue is accommodated and also measured, because it is part of the clinical picture.
