We assess for ADHD, autism, learning disorders, intellectual delays, giftedness, anxiety and mood disorders in English primarily. Our assessments identify a client’s strengths and needs in order to support their wellbeing at school and at home. All assessments are individualized based on the presenting issues and what is needed to answer the referral question. As such, assessments are charged hourly, with estimates based on the client age. However, the fees for older clients are usually higher due to the availability of increased measures, longer testing sessions, as well as the added complexity of a clinical profile as people age and acquire more life and school experiences to consider. After reviewing the intake documents that you will be asked to submit prior to booking your assessment, the assessment procedures will be finalized in the intake meeting. Fees include intake and feedback meetings with Dr. Ryan, testing sessions with psychometrists or Dr. Ryan, scoring, report writing, and file reviews.
After contacting us, our administrative assistant will send you a request for service form for you to complete to help us collect some basic information about you and your request. This will be reviewed by Dr. Ryan to confirm that we can accept the request, at which point you will be sent details for setting up an account, completing intake forms, and sending in relevant documents. Once the file is complete, you will be scheduled for an intake meeting in 3-4 months.

Dr. Ryan is lucky to have the assistance of several clinical assistants to help with intakes, testing, preparing files and writing reports. In the psychology world, these assistants are called "Psychometrists." All psychometrists have been trained at Julia Ryan Psychology, and their work is overseen directly by Dr. Ryan, including weekly team meetings to review cases and plan assessments.
Assessments include a combination of virtual and in person formats. It is not possible for us to do virtual only assessments. On special request, in-home assessments may be available. We can serve clients residing in Ontario or Quebec who can visit our office. The office locations for in person visits is 111 Sherwood Drive for meetings. Some testing occurs at 1730 St. Laurent Boul. Suite 800.
We offer most assessments primarily in English, but can support bilingual assessments for primarily English speaking youth attending school in French. We cannot perform appropriate assessments for primarily French speaking youth. Reports are written in English. We can provide referrals to other professionals for French assessments.
Mask use is optional for clients and staff. We will continue with sanitization measures. We do not want to test clients if they are feeling unwell, as we would prefer they are in good health on the days of their testing to ensure the results are accurate. Please contact us to reschedule if you are ill.
