Hilda S. W. Ho

I'm a Ph.D student in the Clinical-Developmental Psychology program at York University.

I received my clinical training at various mental health agencies including the York Catholic District School Board, Oshawa Psychological and Counselling Services, and the Woodbridge Kids Psychology Clinic. My primary client groups are preschoolers, school-aged children, adolescents, and their families. I believe in creating a warm and collaborative environment with my clients and their parents in order to help them reach their therapeutic goals.

My research is within the field of Developmental Disabilities and specifically, in the diagnosis and assessment process of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and in creating a supportive network for families.My dissertation will involve cross-culturally validating the York Measure of Quality of IBI (YMQI) and will examine barriers to receiving ASD services in several regions in Asia (i.e. Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China).
