What are Clinical Services?
Adult Clinical Services offer assessment, treatment, and education for adults with developmental disabilities, and their families and caregivers. Our team of professionals help you meet your goals by understanding your individual needs and creating a plan to support you.
We also provide clinical support across Northern Ontario through partnerships with other developmental service agencies. This network of support provides access to qualified, regulated professionals across the Region, including in rural and remote communities.
