The intake session is designed to collect information about you and discuss the specific purpose/goals of the assessment. It also helps your psychologist to determine the type of assessment and measures that would be most suited to provide you with the required information you are seeking. Your psychologist will discuss this with you in the intake session and provide an assessment plan. This will include the cost to help you make an informed decision about whether to continue. There is no commitment at this point.

During the course of the assessment your psychologist may also recommend a change to the plan based on the results of the assessments. This is because as more information is gathered it may become clear that the difficulty is likely due to some other factor (e.g attentional disorder). This will be discussed and a new plan, including any additional costs will be confirmed. The reverse may also occur. Your results may require less measures to be completed, which would result in a lower cost.
