At Compass, our pediatric care team assesses and supports children for behavioural and neurodevelopmental concerns, which may include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other school and learning concerns. ADHD evaluations are fully covered by OHIP, as are initial physician evaluations for ASD and other behavioural concerns. In some cases, further diagnostic assessments may be necessary. For children already diagnosed with ADHD, medication optimization consultations are also completed by the physician team.

Our approach to children is always holistic and culturally sensitive. We adopt an approach that emphasizes how to help children flourish and connect with their strengths rather than focusing on deficits. Furthermore, we are mindful of ways in which environments can impact the challenges a child is experiencing. In a multicultural and scientifically evolving world, we recognize limitations, benefits, and cultural aspects around specific diagnoses and how these have changed over time. We also recognize that the degree to which a child is experiencing difficulties, and therefore the relevance of a diagnosis, changes over time.

Our pediatric team provides consultations for general pediatric concerns with a focus on behavioural and neurodevelopmental concerns. Our pediatric team does not provide primary care pediatrics.

If you are interested in an evaluation, please contact your primary care physician to send a referral to our clinic.
