Assessment

  • Autism and ADHD assessments are charged at a flat fee for private clients. Standard fees are listed below which cover the complete process including the use of multiple psychometric tools, clinical interviews, gathering third-party information, compiling evidence, and developing a comprehensive report.

    • Children and Adolescents - $2500

    • Adults - $2300

    If you have particular requirements outside of the standard process, this may attract additional fees and will be discussed with you in advance.

    Due to the high co-occurrence of ADHD and Autism, it is best practice to assess for both together. This reduces the risk of missing the identification of either neurotype, which can lead to negative outcomes.

    It is our preference and clinical recommendation that both are considered during assessment.
