Psychological Assessment FAQs
How do I know if I or my teen should pursue a psychological assessment?
A psychological assessment may be helpful if there are ongoing concerns about attention, learning, academic performance, executive functioning, social communication, behaviour, emotional well-being, or daily functioning. Assessments can provide clarity when challenges persist despite effort, support, or intervention.
What types of concerns can psychological assessments help identify?
Psychological assessments can help identify ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, giftedness, executive functioning challenges, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, academic difficulties, and other factors that may be impacting success at school, work, or in everyday life. Explore our adult ADHD assessments, adult autism assessments, and psychoeducational assessments.
How long does a psychological assessment take?
The length of an assessment depends on the type of assessment being completed and the questions being explored. Most assessments involve multiple steps, including interviews, standardized testing, questionnaires, scoring, interpretation, and a feedback meeting to review results.
How much does a psychological assessment cost?
Because every assessment is tailored to the person and the questions being explored, fees vary from person to person. The total depends on the type of assessment and the time involved, including interviews, testing, scoring, report writing, and the feedback meeting. We don’t direct bill, but you’ll receive receipts to submit to your extended health benefits, and many plans cover psychological services. Call our office at 403-217-4686 to talk through what your assessment may involve.
Will an assessment provide a diagnosis?
Some assessments may result in a diagnosis when diagnostic criteria are met, while others focus on understanding strengths, challenges, learning styles, or cognitive functioning. The primary goal is to provide meaningful information and recommendations that support future success.
What happens after the assessment is completed?
Following the assessment, you will receive feedback regarding the results along with recommendations tailored to your unique needs. Recommendations may include accommodations, educational supports, workplace strategies, therapy recommendations, or additional resources.
Can adults benefit from psychological assessments?
Absolutely. Many adults pursue assessments to better understand attention difficulties, executive functioning challenges, autism traits, learning differences, workplace concerns, or lifelong struggles that were never fully explained earlier in life.
Are psychological assessments only focused on challenges?
No. Comprehensive assessments identify strengths as well as areas of difficulty. Understanding strengths is often one of the most valuable parts of the assessment process because it helps guide effective supports, accommodations, and future planning.
How can an assessment help with school, work, or daily life?
Assessment results can provide practical recommendations that support learning, productivity, communication, organization, accommodations, self-understanding, and decision-making. Many people find that having answers helps them move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
