The Clinic prides itself on its flexibility in adapting to special needs' situations. We can, where necessary, accommodate assessments extended over multiple visits should the patient be unable to tolerate a lengthy examination process. We regularly examine wheel-chair bound individuals, persons with limited upper extremity functional mobility, and those with sensory disabilities (hearing impaired, visually impaired and blinded). Children over age 7 are accommodated, with the examination process designed to place them at ease, and stimulate their interest. We have facilities and clinical tools for conducting examinations in several foreign languages and can help coordinate Interpreter support where necessary.

The Toronto clinic offices are located near Broadview/Danforth, in the heart of midtown Toronto, amongst several professional health care office buildings. Nearby are several restaurants, coffee shops and fast-food outlets where patients and those accompanying them may take lunch or coffee breaks. A rest area in the Clinic is also available for those having need to lie down for awhile. Every effort is made to ensure the examination process leaves the individual with a positive sense that their time has been well-spent, and with minimal strain.

Persons engaged in full day assessments are welcome to bring along lunch if they prefer, with private space made available to them during a luncheon break.
