Assessment and support services

Please find some service providers that offer support to individuals with Asperger Syndrome, or assessments of Asperger Syndrome.  This list is not exhaustive, nor is it an endorsement by AMI of any one clinician or service over another.  If you do work with individuals in assessment, diagnosis or service provision of Asperger Syndrome please email info@asperger-manitoba.ca with “SERVICE PROVIDER” in the subject line.

For Adults:

Psychological Services Centre (PSC) at the University of Manitoba can provide a comprehensive assessment at no cost, using student clinicians under the supervision of qualified staff and they can also facilitate a referral, if necessary, for additional services. The PSC generally accepts referrals in September, and they are processed through the ensuing months of the school term. This service is available to the public and you can contact it by phoning (204) 474-9222 or emailing psc@umanitoba.ca.
