About

Marlene Dworkind, B.A., M.Ed.

I am a Psychologist in Private Practice with over 35 years of active experience. I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Anxiety Disorder. My clients range in age from Kindergarten to post-University. As a member of the Ordre of Psychologists of Quebec, my assessments are covered by private insurance plans.

Over the years, I have taught numerous courses at the College and University levels. I was also an Assistant Professor at McGill University in the Faculty of Education (Dept. of Educational Psychology) for 10 years.

After graduating from McGill, I worked as a Guidance Counsellor at several elementary and high schools in both the Montreal area and surroundings. As an Educational Psychologist at Concordia University for several years, I gained experience with the adult university population.

I have presented numerous workshops to teachers and parents in the areas of Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder. In addition, I was an Educational Consultant and member of the multimodal research team at the Montreal Children’s Hospital’s study of ADHD. Furthermore, I was involved in a research project for Montreal’s four universities, comparing English/French tests involved in the assessment of adults with learning disabilities.
