ASD Screening Clinic

We offer an Autism Spectrum Disorders Screening Clinic

Appointments are 3 hours long. It is important that parents and the child/teen be present. We will ask you questions, observe your young playing, and, if possible, have a conversation with your child/teen. At the end of the session we provide a report and make recommendations for next steps.

Keeping children safe during the night

Do you have a child who wanders out of their bedroom at night?

We recently asked the London Fire Dept for advice because locking a child in their bedroom is against the Fire Code. Here is what we learned: Any bedroom door alarm works well, possibly one with a silent mode that sends a signal to the parents' cell phones. A few options have mild sounds that alert parents but are a normal sounds to children. The cellphone signal option is quite good.

Here's an example: Braumm WiFi Door and Window Smart Sensor Alarm (Amazon Canada)
