About Us

Hello, I’m Paola Egusquiza, the Clinical Director at Peel Autism Services (PAS). With over 25 years of experience in providing clinical support to individuals with special needs, challenging behaviors, and learning disabilities, I am dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, youth, and adults. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and a Postgraduate Degree in Education, with a focus on autism spectrum disorder. My clinical journey began in Cuba, working in the Pediatric Psychiatric Ward, where I discovered my passion for creating individualized, impactful strategies that foster meaningful outcomes. I am committed to diversity, inclusion, and resilience, understanding the importance of personalized care. My goal is to unlock each individual’s potential by identifying their unique strengths and needs. I am devoted to improving the quality of life for the families we serve, ensuring an environment that promotes growth, self-discovery, and confidence. Thank you for considering PAS. We look forward to partnering with you on this important journey.

"Every child deserves a chance to thrive. Our approach combines the latest research with a strong commitment to individual care, ensuring each child gets the support they need for lifelong success."
