Roxanne Lirette loves working with children and specializes in the assessment of children and youth. She completed her Master of Science in School and Applied Child Psychology at the University of Calgary and has worked in both Saskatchewan and Alberta providing psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children across a wide range of developmental, learning, behavioural, and mental health concerns.

Throughout her career, Roxanne has worked with children and youth presenting with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disorders, Developmental Delays, Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), Giftedness, and a broad spectrum of mental health concerns including Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Personality Disorders, and Trauma-Related Disorders. She also has extensive experience assessing preschool-aged children in the areas of cognitive development, social-emotional functioning, adaptive skills, behaviour, and early academic development. Roxanne’s clinical work has increasingly focused on autism assessment and differential diagnosis. She previously worked on both the Infant-Preschool and School-Age teams at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, where she completed diagnostic assessments for children with suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Relocating to Vancouver Island has been a dream for her family, and they are excited to make the Island their forever home. As a parent herself, she understands firsthand the daily joys and challenges that come with this season of life. She feels privileged to hear each child’s story and to work with their families to better understand what supports and resources may help make things a little less difficult for navigating this journey. She is passionate about helping families gain a deeper understanding of their child’s strengths, needs, and unique experiences. She looks forward to meeting families and helping answer questions they may have about their child.
