Dr. Jenny Demark is a Clinical Psychologist experienced in working with children and youth with autism spectrum disorder, developmental/ intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, attention disorders, and/or disruptive behaviour. Her goal is to improve the quality of life for children and their families by completing thorough assessments and using positive, evidence-based interventions.

Dr. Demark conducts comprehensive psychological assessments to understand the cognitive, adaptive, memory, attention, academic, social, and emotional functioning of children and youth. Her written reports provide parents and educators clear information about children’s strengths and needs, diagnoses (if applicable), community resources, and recommendations to support skill development and growth. She also completes functional behavioural assessments to develop practical treatment plans that can be implemented by families and/or schools.

Dr. Demark’s intervention services include therapy for children and youth to teach them appropriate coping skills for anger, sadness, frustration, and worries. She also works with parents as they manage children’s challenging behaviours. Problem behaviours that she has helped treat range from the relatively mild (e.g., noncompliance, temper tantrums, potty training) to the severe (e.g., aggression, self-injury, sleep disturbances). She uses a behavioural/ cognitive-behavioural treatment approach.
