Éric Chambellant
A neuropsychology graduate since 2007 in France, Mr. Chambellant has been a member of the Quebec Order of Psychologists since 2013, and has worked as a neuropsychologist and psychologist in various sectors (CHSLD, private clinic, rehabilitation institute).
His work has led him to work as a specialist with various organizations (IVAC, Army Veterans, rehabilitation organizations, academia).
He has been working at CERC since March 2021, and has also been a supervisor for doctoral students in adult neuropsychology at the Université de Montréal since January 2021. There, he guides future professionals in learning about the specificities of adults.
At CERC, as head of the adult section, he enjoys sharing his passion for the discipline and actively participating in the development of practice around adult and adolescent clients (knowledge sharing, clinical discussions, etc.).
He takes it to heart to maintain scientific rigor while remaining close to and attentive to the customer and his or her life story.
Assessment and follow-up of people with ADD(H) has formed a large part of his practice, as have disorders such as Tourette's, anxiety and depressive disorders, Major Neurocognitive Disorders, Intellectual Disability, etc. For a long period of his career, he has worked with people with ASD, which has enabled him to develop a keen interest in this field and to carry out ASD assessments that take into account all the characteristics of the person (differences between men and women, camouflage strategies, learning behaviors, etc.). These diverse experiences in supporting people following their diagnosis have enabled him to refine his practice within the framework of his assessments. He has consolidated a fine, nuanced analysis of the situations, experiences and issues of people who function beyond childhood with a disorder that they learn to compensate for and manage through multiple strategies.
Don't get him started on mythology, science fiction, literature or video games if you want to leave CERC on time.
