Dr. Katia Sinopoli is a registered clinical neuropsychologist who works with children, teens, and young adults. She specializes in the assessment of learning, attention, memory, executive functioning, and behavioural/mental health needs. This includes learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other impairments in cognition (e.g., neurocognitive impairment due to brain injury). She has experience working with typically developing individuals, as well as those with neurodevelopmental (e.g., autism), neurological (e.g., epilepsy), and other medical conditions (e.g., traumatic brain injuries and concussion).

Dr. Katia Sinopoli’s approach to assessment is grounded in clinical research and best practices as put forth by Canadian and American psychological and neuropsychological associations. She believes that the best way to understand how someone thinks and learns is to understand the person as a whole within their school, family, and greater community. When working with kids and teens, parents, caregivers, and educators are considered a vital part of the assessment process.

Dr. Katia Sinopoli received her MSc in Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia and PhD at the University of Toronto, with clinical training at the Hospital for Sick Children, UHN, and Princess Margaret Hospital. Since 2013, she has been working at The Hospital for Sick Children within the Department of Psychology and Division of Neurology with children and teens with a variety of neurology and genetic conditions. Her research has focused on neuropsychological outcomes of various conditions, including traumatic brain injury (including concussion), epilepsy, neurofibromatosis type 1, and ADHD.
