Do you have questions about how your child, a loved one, or even you might function? If so, it’s critical to carry out a complete diagnostic evaluation conducted by a multidisciplinary team specialized in autistic functioning to help you get some accurate answers. The services we offer at our clinic comply with the guidelines of the Order of psychologists of Québec, and our professionals are accredited to use standardized diagnostic and intervention tools.
Our objectives are to accurately determine whether someone’s profile corresponds to an autistic thinking structure or not (a differential diagnosis). A better understanding of how an individual works allows us to develop recommendations that will facilitate their everyday life.
