Autism Services

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) ® Training  is an evidence-based, naturalistic developmental behavioural intervention for children with autism up to age 12 years. This training  includes 2 group sessions for parents/caregivers and 4 individual consultation sessions that involve both child and parent/caregiver participation. You will learn strategies that increase your child’s skills in a specific pivotal area known to produce widespread positive improvements in learning, social communication, and behaviour.

A screening will be completed to determine which pivotal area is most appropriate for your child or to provide recommendations for other services.

During this workshop facilitated by an Occupational Therapist and a Speech-Language Pathologist, you will learn about the development of the skills involved in eating and how to set up your mealtime environment for success. We will discuss strategies to reduce the stress and worry that can surround mealtimes with a child with eating-related issues and explore ways to make feeding fun. This workshop is intended for families looking to improve their child’s eating and mealtime experience.

Psychoeducational assessments are used to identify areas of strength and need in a student’s learning profile allowing for a deeper understanding of their educational abilities.  It may also be used to a make a decision as to whether their challenges in school can be accounted for by additional diagnoses such as Specific Learning Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or Intellectual Developmental Disorder.  Recommendations are made to enable students to access appropriate academic accommodations and supports at school, home, and in the community.

All psychological assessments begin with this consultation with a Psychologist to share your questions and concerns about your child/youth so you can determine which type of assessment is best and when it should occur.
