Who We Assess

Psychoeducational 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.

Learning, academic, and attention difficulties do not always arise from one single area. Challenges with reading, writing, mathematics, attention, memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and emotional or behavioural functioning can sometimes overlap and affect learning, academic performance, work, and everyday functioning.

This combined Standalone ADHD and Psychoeducational Assessment helps develop a clearer understanding of attention, executive functioning, learning, and information processing. It may help identify ADHD-related concerns, cognitive and academic strengths and areas of difficulty, learning disorders, and factors affecting learning and everyday functioning. It also guides recommendations for interventions, accommodations, and next steps.

Start With a Clinical Intake

Start With a Clinical Intake — $300

Every assessment begins with a 45-minute virtual clinical intake.

Your clinician will review your concerns, relevant history, previous diagnoses or treatment where applicable, and what you are hoping to understand. They will then recommend the appropriate assessment pathway.

You do not need to know which assessment you need before booking.

If you proceed with the recommended assessment within 7 days, 100% of your $300 intake fee is credited toward your assessment fee. There is no obligation to continue after the intake.

ASSESSMENT SCOPE

What Can the Assessment Explore?

Depending on your individual needs, a combined ADHD and Psychoeducational Assessment may explore:

Cognitive Abilities

Thinking, reasoning, verbal comprehension, working memory, and processing speed.

Academic Achievement

Reading, written expression, mathematics, and other academic skills.

Learning Disabilities

Identifying patterns of strengths and difficulties associated with specific learning disorders.

Attention & Executive Functioning

Attention, organization, planning, working memory, self-regulation, and related ADHD concerns.

Memory & Learning

How information is learned, retained, recalled, and applied.

Processing Speed

How efficiently information is understood, processed, and completed.

Visual-Motor Functioning

Visual perception, visual-motor integration, and related learning demands.

Emotional & Behavioural Functioning

Understanding factors that may affect attention, learning, academic performance, and participation.

Diagnostic Clarification

Clarifying learning-disorder and ADHD-related concerns and other factors affecting learning.

Accommodations & Recommendations

Identifying appropriate school, post-secondary, workplace, and clinical supports and next steps.

🧠

The assessment may include clinical interviews, developmental, educational and clinical history, standardized cognitive and academic testing, attention and executive-function measures, relevant record review, collateral information where appropriate, clinical interpretation, a psychoeducational report, feedback, and recommendations.

Assessment Tools

Standardized Assessment Tools

Where appropriate, your clinician may use standardized tools including:

WRAML Memory and learning
WIAT Reading, writing, mathematics and academic functioning
Beery VMI Visual perception and visual-motor functioning

In-Person Assessment & Timeline

If your clinician recommends a Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment, the process may require approximately 7 hours of in-person assessment at our Hamilton location.

Testing does not need to be completed in one appointment and can typically be divided across 3–4 sittings or more, depending on your individual needs. Your clinician will explain the recommended assessment process and expected timeline before you proceed.

Not Sure Which Assessment You Need?

You don't need to figure that out yourself.

Your clinician will determine whether a Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment is appropriate or whether your concerns would be better addressed through a more focused assessment or another clinical pathway.

You will know what is recommended, what it involves and the applicable fee before deciding whether to proceed.
