ABOUT US
About the Okanagan Ability Centre
We are a group of doctoral level clinical psychologists trained in assessment and treatment. 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 disorders, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as well as social-emotional and behavioural difficulties. We also specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of adults with presenting problems including learning and cognitive/intellectual disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. Note that we do not assess/diagnose adult mental health disorders (please contact your community mental health centre to explore related services). Our psychologists are registered with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia.
