Clinical Expertise
Dr. Sinopoli 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).
Treatment Philosophy
Dr. 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 her assessment process.
