BrainLab offers psychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults, including ADHD, autism, psychoeducational and psychodiagnostic assessments. In-person psychological assessments are available in Ottawa and Toronto. Availability for a particular referral question is confirmed after review.
Some interviews or feedback appointments may be virtual across Ontario when clinically appropriate. Eligible virtual psychological assessment is available to Nunavut residents when the required methods suit virtual delivery.
Psychological assessments are billed at $275 per hour; many comprehensive assessments cost approximately $2,000–$4,000 depending on scope. Every BrainLab psychological assessment includes feedback and a written report. Current availability can change and is confirmed before services begin.
Assessment may help when diagnostic clarification could inform treatment, medication discussions, functional documentation or coordination. Include the referral question, relevant medical context and the decision the report should inform; assessment does not replace medical evaluation or prescribing.
