Psychoeducational Assessments

Our assessments provide a full evaluation of your child’s cognitive, academic and social-emotional functioning.
Through assessments, the BFDC aims to illuminate both areas of strength and patterns of difficulty.
The BFDC will provide parents, teachers and the child with helpful strategies for success.

Speech & Language Therapy

We provide supportive, evidence-based speech and language therapy services that are tailored to the needs of each child.
We understand the challenges that people with communication difficulties face in their homes, schools, and workplaces.
We can help improve: speech clarity and fluency, understanding spoken language, expressive language, social skills, and much more.

Therapy &
Counselling

We offer a positive and practical approach to psychological therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.
We offer couples counselling, family therapy, support groups, and life coaching/mentorship.
Our goal is to improve individual and social functioning in everyday life.

“At the Jadis Blurton Family Development Center (BFDC), we value every child as an individual and believe in their ability to reach their potential.
