Isabelle Corriveau

Psychology

I like working with children and their families because it’s gratifying to see them evolve and flourish despite the adversity most of them face. It’s essential that we look after and care for our children since they are the citizens of tomorrow.

Community Involvement

Guest Lecturer since 2020 to present ‘’Intellectual Disability: Assessment and Feedback to Families’’. Presentation given to psychology graduate students at the School and Applied Child Psychology of McGill University.

Education

University

Université de Montréal (Ph.D. in Psychology – option Clinical Neuropsychology)

Fun fact about me

When Fall comes around, I like to make pesto with herbs from my garden. It’s a nice reminder of summer during winter times.
