Integrated

That’s what makes us different. We offer integrated services to our community. Driven by our values and love for the population that we serve, we have come together to provide an interdisciplinary model of integrated services for people with neurodiverse needs.

 

Our mission is to offer optimal, innovative, well-coordinated, and evidence-based approaches to treatment and management of neurodevelopmental disorders.

 

We work as an integrated team of professionals including psychology, psychiatry, behavior analysis, speech, language therapy, nutrition, and sexual education. We work with families and caregivers to create integrated plans for care, in both the natural environment (home, daycare or school), and in our clinic.

 

We are located at 4077 Décarie, in the heart of NDG, in a building that feels like home. We want our clients to be comfortable when they come for a visit.
