Adult Psychological Assessments (ADHD/ADD)

Purpose of the Assessment

An adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) assessment is designed to clarify whether challenges such as difficulties with focus, organization, impulsivity, or restlessness are related to ADHD/ADD.

The process combines an in-depth clinical interview, standardized questionnaires, and, where needed, psychometric testing. These tools help provide an accurate understanding of the client’s difficulties and guide individualized recommendations.

At the end of the process, you will receive a comprehensive written report that summarizes the findings, provides clinical interpretation, and offers tailored recommendations. The report may also be forwarded to your family physician or other healthcare providers involved in your treatment, with your consent and in full accordance with professional confidentiality and ethical standards.

Total Cost: $2,100 (paid in three installments of $700).
- The cost includes the preparation and writing of the final evaluation report.
- If a case is more complex and requires additional time, further sessions may be arranged with your consent at the psychologist’s hourly rate of $240/hour.
- Services are payable via debit, cheque, and Interac e-Transfer and are considered tax-deductible medical expenses, often reimbursable through extended health insurance.

Process and Fees

The assessment typically includes three appointments spread over several weeks:

01. First Appointment

The initial session is a comprehensive clinical interview with Dr. Lafleur. The goal is to explore your history of attention and concentration difficulties, as well as related concerns such as restlessness, impulsivity, organization, and time management.

You may invite a close family member, partner, or trusted person to provide additional insight.
This appointment also provides an opportunity for you to share your primary concerns and ask questions about the assessment process, intake questionnaires, and clinical questionnaires.
Payment: An initial installment of $700 is required to reserve this first appointment, as standardized questionnaires must be completed prior to the session and will be reviewed and discussed in detail during the session.

02. Second Appointment

The second session continues the clinical interview and builds on the information gathered previously.

Dr. Lafleur explores your current functioning across settings (work, school, relationships, daily life).
Screening for other mental health conditions is conducted to ensure an accurate understanding of your difficulties (e.g., anxiety, depression, sleep problems).
Additional structured questionnaires or rating scales may be used at this stage.
Payment: A second installment of $700 is due at this appointment.

03. Third Appointment

The final session focuses on providing clear feedback and personalized recommendations.

Dr. Lafleur reviews the written evaluation report with you, explaining the results.
You will have the chance to request modifications to the report, discuss the findings, ask questions, and receive tailored strategies to better manage ADHD-related challenges.
The report may also be forwarded to your family physician or other healthcare providers involved in your treatment, with your consent and in full accordance with professional confidentiality and ethical standards.
The finalized report is delivered securely once any final edits are completed.
Payment: The last installment of $700 is due at this stage.
