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.
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.
Depending on your individual needs, a combined ADHD and Psychoeducational Assessment may explore:
Thinking, reasoning, verbal comprehension, working memory, and processing speed.
Reading, written expression, mathematics, and other academic skills.
Identifying patterns of strengths and difficulties associated with specific learning disorders.
Attention, organization, planning, working memory, self-regulation, and related ADHD concerns.
How information is learned, retained, recalled, and applied.
How efficiently information is understood, processed, and completed.
Visual perception, visual-motor integration, and related learning demands.
Understanding factors that may affect attention, learning, academic performance, and participation.
Clarifying learning-disorder and ADHD-related concerns and other factors affecting learning.
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.
Where appropriate, your clinician may use standardized tools including:
| Tool | What It Helps Us Understand |
|---|---|
| WISC / WAIS | Thinking, reasoning, working memory and processing |
| WRAML | Memory and learning |
| WIAT | Reading, writing, mathematics and academic functioning |
| Beery VMI | Visual perception and visual-motor functioning |
Not every patient requires every tool. Your psychologist or psychological associate will determine whether one, several, or all four are appropriate based on your age, concerns and clinical needs, and may use other appropriate measures where needed.
If your clinician recommends a Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment , the total fee is $4,000.
Your $300 clinical intake payment is fully credited, leaving a balance of $3,700.
| Option | Payment |
|---|---|
| Pay in Full | $3,700 remaining after your $300 intake credit |
| Two Instalments | 2 payments of $1,850 |
| Extended Bi-Weekly Plan | Approved bi-weekly payments based on the remaining balance |

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.
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.
