ABLE Developmental Clinic is a well-known and busy practice that addresses a wide variety of developmental and behavioural issues in children and youth. At present, ABLE is home to several psychologists, behaviour consultants, counsellors, speech-language pathologists, pediatricians, and psychiatrists. We offer assessment and ongoing treatment for autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, ADHD, language disorders, and other developmental and mental health conditions in children and their families.

Career opportunities with ABLE Developmental Clinic:


Join the dynamic professional team at ABLE Developmental Clinic. We are currently recruiting psychology associates at all three clinic locations (West Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond):

 

  • West Vancouver (Friday, Saturday)
  • Richmond (Office availability: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday)
  • Surrey (Office availability: Monday, Friday, Saturday)

 

Due to increased demand for autism assessment services at all three clinic locations, psychologists with competency and/or interest (training and supervision can be coordinated) in autism assessment will be prioritized for recruitment. ABLE Clinic receives a diversity of referrals for psychological services and associates would not be expected to be solely involved in autism assessment unless that was the associates preference; however, a meaningful increase to assessment capacity is desired.
