About us
At Lakeshore Child Development Services (LCDS), we are committed to supporting families and nurturing each child’s development through compassionate, individualized, and trauma-informed care. All services are provided directly by a clinician with a Master’s Degree in Behaviour Analysis Practice, a background in psychology and child development, and who is a Registered Behaviour Analyst (Ontario).
We offer developmental and autism screening as a more accessible and cost-effective way to explore concerns and determine whether a full psychological or diagnostic assessment may be needed—helping families gain clarity and direction without immediately committing to a comprehensive evaluation.
We also provide parent coaching and consultation in areas such as language development, behaviour management, and overall child development, with a focus on practical, evidence-based strategies that support caregivers in everyday life.
In addition, we offer pediatric sleep support using a responsive, family-centered approach that promotes healthy sleep while maintaining strong parent-child connection.
LCDS provides autism and neurodiversity-affirming support, including individualized consultation tailored to your child’s unique strengths and needs. We are an approved provider through the Ontario Autism Program (OAP), allowing eligible families to access funded services.
Services are available in-home, virtually, or within the community to support accessibility and meet families where they are.
We are here to support your family with clarity, care, and expertise.
