Clinic Director and Supervising Psychologist

Dr. Adrienne Eastwood, C. Psych., R.B.A. (Ont.)

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Registered Behaviour Analyst who has worked in the field of Autism since 2002. I established Eastwood Psychologists in 2005, and have served the Brampton and surrounding community ever since. I support individuals with ASD across the lifespan; my role includes diagnostic assessment, supervision of ABA therapy, supervision and delivery of Project ImPACT, and psychotherapy with adults with ASD. I value working collaboratively with families and putting the needs of the child and family first. I speak English and French, and in my spare time, I enjoy hiking and singing in choirs.

Project ImPACT Therapists

Kirsty Hopley

I love parent training and making strong connections with families. I have worked in the field of Autism, delivering and supervising ABA therapy, for over 25 years. In my career, I have been especially honoured to support families through their whole journey raising a child with ASD (from diagnosis to young adulthood). I work closely with our team of Project ImPACT therapists to ensure that each family’s needs are met.

Shai-ann James

I earned a post-graduate certificate in behavioural science from St. Lawrence College in 2020, and I have been working with children with Autism for more than 5 years. In my approach with children and their families, I find it so valuable to think outside of the box. It is especially rewarding to work with parents to find engaging ways to teach their children new skills. Being a mom myself, I find it essential to be involved in my child’s learning and development, and I know it’s the same for parents in Project ImPACT. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.

Paulina Kargul

Life is full of little milestones, and for over ten years I’ve had the opportunity to share in these accomplishments with incredible children and their families. Since graduating from George Brown in 2010 with an Advanced Diploma in Autism and Behavioural Science, I have enjoyed helping children reach their potential and teaching parents how best to support their children every step of the way. Each child comes with their own array of skills and I love finding their strengths and creating activities to grow those abilities. As a Polish Canadian, I can provide services in English and Polish. Outside of work, I enjoy board games, exploring nearby towns and a myriad of arts and crafts.

Bariah Khan

I am a Registered Behaviour Analyst and mom of four. I have spent the last 15 years working with young individuals with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability in clinical and home settings. I have also been delivering Project ImPACT CMEY since 2021 training parents and caregivers of children newly diagnosed with ASD. The best part of my job is developing a relationship with a family and empowering them to face the challenges and embrace the joys that come with raising a neurodivergent individual and providing neuroaffirming care.

Rebecca Victoratto, MPEd, R.B.A. (Ont.)

My name is Rebecca, and I am a Registered Behaviour Analyst with a passion for working with children with Autism and their families. ABA therapy is only a few hours a session – parents spend the rest of the day with their children, which makes them their child’s primary therapists! I love including parents in their child’s therapy; they make a world of a difference for their children when they’re taught how to be involved. As a Project ImPACT therapist, my goal is to help caregivers deepen social-emotional bonds with their children to facilitate communication. Since 2020, I have become very comfortable and creative with delivering therapy online, and I look forward to working with you. Aside from teaching, you’ll find me playing soccer or spending time with my young children. I speak English and Portuguese.
