Who We Assess
Autism assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults across Ontario.
Assessments are led by a Registered Psychologist or Psychological Associate, supported by their clinical assessment team.
Start With a Clinical Intake

Every autism assessment begins with a virtual clinical intake.
Clinical Intake
Start With a Clinical Intake — $300
Every autism assessment begins with a virtual clinical intake.
During this appointment, the clinician will discuss your concerns, relevant developmental history, current difficulties, and what you are hoping to understand.
The intake also helps determine whether an autism assessment is the right next step.
Following the intake, we will let you know whether we recommend proceeding with the autism assessment or whether another type of assessment or next step may be more appropriate.
You Have Time to Decide
The clinical intake fee is $300 and is paid before the appointment.
After your intake, you have 7 days to decide whether you would like to proceed.
If you proceed with the recommended autism assessment within 7 days, 100% of your $300 intake fee will be credited toward your assessment fee.
There is no obligation to continue after the intake.

Recommendations and next steps
The psychologist or psychological associate retains independent clinical judgment regarding the assessment methods needed to appropriately assess your concerns.
If a different or additional assessment may be needed, the clinician will discuss this with you before proceeding. You will be told what is recommended, why, what it involves, and any additional fees before you decide whether to proceed.

After Your Clinical Intake
What Happens After the Intake?
Autism Assessment Is Appropriate
If the clinician determines that an autism assessment is appropriate for your concerns, you can choose whether you would like to proceed.
If you proceed within 7 days, your $300 intake fee is fully credited toward the assessment.
Another Assessment May Be More Appropriate
Sometimes your concerns may require a different or broader type of assessment.
For example, the clinician may identify concerns that would be better addressed through an ADHD, learning, developmental, clinical, or combined assessment.
If this happens, the clinician will explain what is recommended, why it may be appropriate, what it involves, and any applicable fees.
You can then decide whether you would like to proceed.
We will not add or substantially change the assessment you agreed to without first discussing it with you and obtaining your consent.
Timeline
How Long Does the Process Take?
The complete autism assessment process typically takes approximately 6–8 weeks.
Timelines can vary depending on individual needs, appointment availability, completion of assessment measures, and receipt of requested developmental or historical information.
We will explain the expected timeline after your clinical intake.
