ADHD Psychoeducational Assessment In Surrey, BC

PsychoEducational Assessments (ADHD) – age 6+

A psychoeducational assessment for ADHD is a one-on-one test administered in-person by a psychologist, to develop a complete perspective of intellectual or cognitive abilities, memory, executive functioning, and ADHD symptoms. A standardized assessment battery is combined with clinical interviews, observations, and review of historical records to help understand how your child learns, identify their strengths and weaknesses, recommend treatment plans, and give formal diagnoses when needed.

PsychoEducational assessments for ADHD must be conducted in-person, and will cover investigation of the following neurodevelopmental disorder:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)- inattentive, hyperactive, or combined subtypes *formerly known as attention deficit disorder or ADD.

Areas covered during the assessment will include:

  • Intelligence and Cognitive Functioning (verbal comprehension, visual spatial abilities, fluid reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed)
  • Memory (short term, long term, visual, verbal, working memory)
  • Attention and Concentration
  • Executive Functioning abilities (cognitive flexibility, inhibition, fluency, switching, initiation)
  • Developmental History
  • School Performance and Functioning
  • Social and Emotional Functioning and Behaviour

The process of a psychodiagnostic assessment- ADHD includes the following:

  • 1 hour clinical intake interview (in-person or virtual)
  • 5.5 hours psychological testing (in-person, two 2-hour sessions + one 1.5 hour session)
  • 50 min feedback session (in-person or virtual – can be broken down into a 40 min parent and 10 min child feedback session)
  • File Review, Clinical Formulation, Scoring and Report writing
  • * a virtual, 30-minute school feedback session can also be added for an additional $141.00
  • Fees: The base fee for a PsychEd-ADHD assessment is $3,831.00. These bae fees cover the assessment of one domain.

Assessment of multiple types of neurodevelopmental disorders, or additional mental health disorders, will require additional testing sessions, scoring and report writing, charged on top of the base fee. If you would like additional queries to be added to your base psychoeducational assessment, your fee will be calculated by an hourly rate, covering testing for all of your individual concerns. This will help keep your costs lower than seeking multiple different types of assessments.

The psychologist will discuss an individualized assessment plan with you in your first session, including estimated fees.

Assessment Intake Form

For ASD, Brief ADHD, Psychoeducational (ADHD, LD, ID) and Giftedness Assessments:

Before your first assessment appointment, we ask that you gather as many relevant supporting documents related to your/ your child's psychological concern as possible, and bring them to your first appointment. This includes any previous psychological reports, reports from SLPs, OTs or PTs, relevant medical records (which you are able to request from your doctor), and school report cards.

As neurodevelopmental disorders (such as ASD, ADHD, LD, and ID) are lifelong, they require a historical background confirmation before a diagnosis can be delivered. Therefore, we ask that all assessment clients bring as many historical documents as possible to your first appointment (even for adult assessments). If you have any concerns about being able to provide historical documents, we can discuss this further in your intake appointment.
