ADHD Assessments in Calgary

ADHD can affect much more than your ability to pay attention. It can impact organization, time management, planning, impulse control, and how you manage everyday responsibilities. An ADHD assessment can help you better understand how these areas may be affecting your life. It can also give you a clearer picture of your strengths and challenges, and help identify strategies that may make things easier. We offer ADHD assessments for children, adolescents, and adults in Calgary.

How Can an ADHD Assessment Help?

Everyone experiences ADHD differently. For some people, it may show up as difficulty staying focused or getting things done. For others, it may look more like forgetfulness, difficulty staying organized, impulsivity, or trouble managing time.

An assessment can help you understand these patterns and how they may be affecting different areas of your life, including:

• School and learning
• Work and productivity
• Organization and time management
• Relationships and communication
• Daily routines and responsibilities
• Personal goals and growth

For children and adolescents, an assessment can also help parents better understand their child’s learning and attention needs and identify strategies that may be helpful at home and at school.

What Does the ADHD Assessment Process Look Like?

1. Interviewing & Testing –  2 to 3 Hours

The assessment begins with interviews and psychological testing. This gives Dr. Saint a chance to learn more about your concerns, history, and day-to-day experiences, while also assessing areas such as attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. For children and adolescents, parents or guardians will also be involved in the assessment process to help provide a fuller picture of the child’s experiences.

2. Report Writing & Analysis –  Approximately 3 Hours

After the interviews and testing are complete, Dr. Saint will review and score the assessment results, analyze the information gathered, and prepare a detailed report. This typically takes approximately 3 hours.

3. Results & Recommendations

Once the assessment has been completed, you will meet with Dr. Saint to go over the results. He will explain the findings, discuss whether the results support an ADHD diagnosis, and answer any questions you may have.

He can also provide recommendations and practical strategies based on the results that may be helpful at school, work, or in everyday life.

How Long Does an ADHD Assessment Take?

An ADHD assessment typically involves approximately 6–7 hours of professional time, including interviewing, psychological testing, assessment scoring, analysis, and report writing. The exact amount of time can vary depending on the individual and the assessment.

ADHD Assessment Cost

ADHD assessments are billed at $235 per hour. Based on an estimated 6–7 hours of professional time, the total cost estimate is approximately $1,410–$1,645. The final cost may vary depending on the individual’s needs and the amount of time required to complete the assessment.
