Diagnosis

Why is diagnosis important?

Due to their strengths, parents, teachers and others often don’t discover their deficits and set expectations they cannot meet.

Strengths may include:

• Outgoing
• Friendly
• Talkative
• Bright in some areas: artistic, musical, or athletic
• Willing
• Helpful
• Generous

What are the benefits of a diagnosis?

•  Provides answers and may lead to changes in expectations for individuals, families, and providers
• Creates eligibility for services
• Facilitates appropriate interventions and support

What is the process?

• We have a multi-disciplinary team of medical professionals which include a developmental pediatrician, neuropsychologist, speech language therapist, occupational therapists, a counselor and FASD specialist.
• Each professional does an assessment of your child on clinic day.
• You will meet with one of our staff members to tell us about your child.
• After the clinic day, the team puts together a comprehensive medical summary report of your child’s specific strengths and weaknesses and we provide recommendations and resources for helping your child.
