About Us

OAC is a private facility that provides diagnostic assessments and consultation services for children and youth experiencing a wide range of challenges and differences that may include: learning and academic difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, developmental disability and social emotional or behavioural difficulties, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, as well as giftedness. Our assessments support tailored intervention by pinpointing areas of challenge and providing recommendations to improve functioning across areas. Diagnostic assessment can also facilitate access to services in a variety of educational and community settings.

Please note that we are not typically accepting referrals for adult Autism Spectrum Disorder assessment or mental health assessments at this time.  Adults seeking those types of services are encouraged to speak with their family physician about a referral to an adult psychiatrist or may contact their local mental health centre (e.g., see www.healthlinkbc.ca or call 310-6789 for more information).

We are a group of Doctoral and Master’s level psychologists and educational/clinical consultants trained in psychological assessment. We specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of children and youth with a variety of presenting problems including developmental delays, learning and cognitive/intellectual disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as well as social-emotional and behavioural difficulties. Our clinical psychologists are registered with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia.
