Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):

For individuals with ASD, our psychologists specialize in providing support through behavioral interventions, social skills training, sensory integration techniques, and strategies to manage sensory sensitivities. We work closely with participants, families, and support teams to ensure a collaborative approach to therapy.

 Some of the strategies they use include:

​

• Conducting diagnostic assessment (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule -2 or ADOS-2) to assist with formalized diagnosis of Autism and a functional assessment (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale or Vineland-3) for identifying strengths and deficits in functional skills.

• Working with parents and care team members (such as GP, Pediatrician, Support Coordinator, Support Workers) to better understand the client's needs and provide collaborative care.

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals learn strategies to manage anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and other behavioral difficulties.

• Using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal communication skills for improving quality of life. 

• Social skills training to improve social communication, interaction, and understanding of social cues.
