Most psycho-educational assessments of children and youth are for the purpose of diagnosing a suspected learning disability or behavioural issue impacting learning. Once testing is completed, the family will be asked to sit down and review the report with the psychologist so that they understand the observations, findings and diagnosis. A written report is provided to the parents as well as suggested interventions and accommodations for both in school and in home.

Cost is generally $2250 for full psychoeducational assessment including emotional behavioural screeners as well as ADHD and/or learning disabilities.
