Which provinces can you get an online ADHD assessment in?

Adults can get an online ADHD assessment anywhere in Canada, youth in Ontario only

If you're an adult (18 and older), you can complete a Finding Focus online ADHD assessment from anywhere in Canada. Assessments are delivered virtually by licensed Canadian nurse practitioners and clinicians, follow DSM-5-TR criteria, and are aligned with CADDRA (the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance), so the standard of care is the same whether you're in St. John's or Victoria. Because everything happens online, you don't need to travel to a clinic or sit on a public wait list that can stretch one to two years or longer.

Youth assessments work differently. ADHD assessment for young people aged 12-17 is currently available in Ontario only. If your child or teen lives in another province, the adult service won't apply to them yet, but coverage areas can change over time, so it's worth checking back or contacting our team. You can learn more about the youth pathway in our guide to whether a teenager can be assessed for ADHD online.

Here's where adult and youth ADHD assessments are available by province

Adult ADHD care is national, spanning all ten Canadian provinces, including care for seniors 65 and older. Youth care is limited to Ontario for now. The table below summarizes current availability. If you live in a territory, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, or Nunavut, reach out to confirm your specific situation before booking, since virtual care availability there can vary.

One more thing worth knowing: if you already have an ADHD diagnosis and are looking for ongoing care, you may qualify for 50% off your initial consultation, regardless of which province you're in.

Confirm your eligibility in a few quick steps before you book

Checking whether you qualify takes only a few minutes, and you can do most of it before paying anything. Working through the steps below will tell you whether the service is available where you live and what to expect.

1. Confirm your age and province. Adults 18+ qualify across Canada; youth aged 12-17 currently qualify in Ontario only.
2. **Try the free online ADHD self-test** to see whether your symptoms point toward a formal assessment. It's a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
3. Review what's included and what it costs on our pricing page, assessments start at $399, with affordable payment plans available.
4. Book your virtual appointment with a licensed Canadian clinician and complete your DSM-5-TR-based assessment online.

Because the process is virtual, many people receive their result in hours rather than the weeks or months other assessment routes can take, and without the long public-system waits noted earlier. A confirmed diagnosis can then flow directly into a personalized treatment plan, so you're not left figuring out next steps on your own.

Pricing is the same across Canada, and prescriptions follow provincial rules

Your cost doesn't change based on which province you're in. A Finding Focus adult assessment starts at $399 (CAD), with transparent pricing shown up front and payment plans available. By comparison, private psychologist ADHD assessments commonly run roughly $2,000-$4,000 or more, and psychiatry is generally publicly funded with a referral, so the barrier is the wait, not the cost. The public system is covered by provincial health plans but access is limited, with waits that can stretch one to two years or longer. Finding Focus is built to make ADHD care more accessible and affordable across the country.

Once you have a confirmed diagnosis, your clinician can help you move into a treatment plan that may include:

• Medication management, where appropriate
• CBT, DBT, and other forms of psychotherapy
• Work or school accommodations and supporting documentation
• Disability Tax Credit (DTC) form completion
• Expedited psychiatry referrals or consults when needed

One important note on medication: prescribing of controlled stimulant medications follows each province's rules, so what your clinician can prescribe and how refills are handled may differ depending on where you live.
