How much will it cost?

Rate: $210/hour. Choose the report tier that fits your needs:

• Brief Report (average 4 pages): Focused testing and a concise summary with clear, actionable recommendations.

• Full/Comprehensive Report (average 15+ pages): Broad test battery, in-depth analysis, and documentation often required for complex presentations or formal processes.

Important: Hours and fees can vary with case complexity, test mix, collateral/informant input, and documentation requirements. Assessment requirements, specific tests used, estimated hours, and prices may change as the assessment unfolds if unforeseen needs arise (for example, additional collateral, expanded test batteries, or new referral questions).

What can I expect from the process?

1. Complimentary Consultation & Intake Planning
   We confirm eligibility and fit, clarify goals and referral questions, review history, determine the appropriate report tier, outline documentation needs, and align scheduling.

2. Scope & Initial Estimate
   We identify the anticipated test battery (cognitive, neurocognitive, neuropsychological, self-report, informant tools) and provide an estimate. Estimates may update if new information emerges.

3. Testing
   Evidence-based measures are administered over one or more sessions, paced to optimize validity. We keep you informed throughout.

4. Feedback & Final Report
   We review results together, provide diagnosis/clarifications where applicable, and deliver tailored recommendations for school, work, and care planning. Reports are typically ready ~2 weeks after testing (up to 6 weeks if collateral is delayed or scope expands).

What Will the Payment Schedule Look Like? 

Payments are typically made in instalments as the assessment progresses. For example, following a

two-hour interview, a payment of $420.00 ($210.00/hour) would be due immediately. Similarly, clients

will be billed incrementally for time spent on report writing and test scoring. Each stage of the process

must be paid for before moving to the next stage. The final report will only be released once all

assessment fees have been paid in full.

Test Protocol Fees:

In addition to hourly fees, clients are responsible for the cost of any required single-use digital or paper

test protocols. These are the official materials required to score and interpret standardized tests. The

total cost of test protocols usually does not exceed $200 CAD, though this may vary depending on the

assessment type and number of tests required. Test fees will be invoiced after your report is written but

before it is released.

Brief Reports: 

Brief reports are shorter summaries (1–2 pages) that provide main findings, key

diagnoses, and general recommendations. They are helpful when a concise overview is sufficient, such

as for personal understanding or basic documentation. However, they may not always be accepted in

schools, workplaces, or legal settings.

Comprehensive Reports: 

Comprehensive reports are longer (5–15+ pages) and include detailed

history, test results, interpretations, and tailored recommendations. They are most appropriate for

complex cases, when documentation is required for schools, medical providers, workplaces, or legal

matters, or when a deeper analysis is needed.
