As a centre of excellence, RARC hosts professional development events for psychologists and professionals in the field of neuropsychological assessment and post-secondary accessibility and transition services. RARC hosts a yearly two-day workshop as well as the High Incidence Disabilities Conference (HIDC) which takes place every few years.

We are excited to host our 3rd High Incidence Disabilities Conference on May 2 and 3, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. This year’s theme is: Navigating Assessment, Academic Accommodations, and Post-Secondary Supports in a Changing World. This event features several well-respected and prominent keynote speakers in the fields of mental health, learning disabilities, and ADHD, as well as breakout workshops from other field experts.
