Assessment Rates
The start to finish assessment process usually takes three months.
Before you book, please look at total costs of assessments below.
Costs and Invoicing
The total cost of a psychological assessment varies depending on the focus. Examples of assessment costs are below.
The total cost of an Autism OR ADHD assessment is usually:
$2,940

$3,550
Young people (6 to 17 years)
The total cost of a combined Autism AND ADHD assessment is usually:

Adults (18+ years)
Young people (6 to 17 years)

Assessments include clinical interviews, questionnaires, review of previous reports/records, feedback session, comprehensive report and recommendations letter. Assessments for young people have additional steps and therefore the cost is higher than assessments for adults.
Payment must be made before the assessment commences.
The total cost of a comprehensive assessment, including cognitive, academic achievement, affect regulation, executive functioning and/or attention (e.g., FASD), varies depending on the focus of the assessment.
