We are a private clinic specialized in autism spectrum disorders, situated on the south shore of Montreal. We offer services to children, adolescents and adults on the autism spectrum (autism, Asperger syndrome, PDDNOS, Rett syndrome and neurodesintregrative disorder) and to their families, siblings and the community. We also offer services to school age children who present developmental delays (communication, langage, social interactions, cognitive) and behavior problems (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, aggression, etc.)                             THE MISSION Our mission aims to maximize each individual’s potential and offer tools to parents and people involved with that individual to better support and accompany him. We favor an individualized approach to meet the particular needs of each individual. We recognize that parents are the first expert of their child and are essential partners. We believe that each individual has the potential to strive toward independence, whatever his age or level of functioning. We respect that each individual has the right to exercise his power and choices regarding decisions that concern him.
