Dr. Armando Bertone is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology at McGill University, a Research Scientist in the Children and Adolescents Mental Health Research Program of the Integrated University Health and Social Services Centre (CIUSSS) of Nord-de-l'île-de-Montréal (NIM), and a licensed neuropsychologist (Quebec Order of Psychologists).
Dr. Bertone directs the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab for Autism and Development, with satellite locations on McGill campus and at the pediatric Rivières-des-Prairies Hospital. His research strives to understand sensory-related cognition and behaviour in autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions at different periods of development. Dr. Bertone’s lab and school-based research programs have led to the development of fruitful relationships with several schools across Canada.
As Co-Founder and Director of the Summit Centre for Education, Research, and Training (SCERT), Dr. Bertone leads knowledge translation and outreach activities between academics, professionals, teachers, parents, and the community through the SCERT by organizing public lectures, professional workshops and conferences led by internationally recognized leaders in academic and professional spheres.
Dr Bertone’s work has been funded by tri-council (NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC), provincial (FRQ-S), private-sector (Scottish Rite Foundation) and other organizations. He also holds patents originating from his lab-based work that describe a procedure and device presented as a non-verbal early detection, assessment and reliable monitoring system that can accurately and consistently measure alterations in neural functioning across a variety of patient populations.
