Child Development

Child Development evaluates a child’s language, motor and socio-emotional development, and makes timely treatment recommendations to services outside the MCH, including primary care physicians, schools, CLSCs and rehabilitation centres.

Services

We measure and assess skills and inefficiencies in language, motor and socio-emotional domains from infancy to preschool years, and then adolescence. We offer specialized evaluation of youth regarding developmental skills and abilities or particular behavioural concerns including but not limited to: complex developmental issues such as autism, multiple developmental delays, ADHD and learning disabilities; gender variance; developmental coordination disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. We also provide psychopharmacological consultation, when necessary.

Our goal is to make sure appropriate recommendations are available to the family in order to provide continuity of care in community-based services (primary care physicians, schools, CLSCs, rehabilitation centres, etc.) This benefits the child and maximizes the acquisition of developmental skills.
