Our Staff

Dr. Eileen Slater (Ph.D.) is well known for her research and support for families and schools in the area of gifted education. When Eileen and Patrick's eldest child spontaneously began reading at 3.5 years old, so began a long journey of understanding and advocacy. Two more children followed, and as we know, giftedness tends to run in families. Her younger children are both twice exceptional (2E).   

Previously a science teacher, school administrator, and curriculum consultant, Eileen turned her attention to research in the hope that she may be able to make the pathway easier for the children and families that followed.  Eileen has been assessing gifted children for the past 8 years and successfully advocating in schools for appropriate educational accommodations to meet their needs. Still an active researcher, Eileen's research focuses on inclusive education practice.  

Lesley Reid (B. Psych., Registered Psychologist, Grad. Dip. Ed.) passionately believes that education should be accessible to everyone. She is committed to providing affordable and high-quality psychological services that empower students to achieve their academic and personal goals.

Lesley has extensive clinical practice in the assessment and intervention of specific learning disorders, trauma-informed practice, ADHD, and intellectual disability.
