What our users say

Spent close to two years trying to find a therapist. Waitlists, no callbacks, people who weren't the right fit. Ended up finding someone through Promptd in like a week.

Nadia

I run a small law firm and needed a family mediator for a case. I did not find anyone in my network so I tried Promptd and found someone pretty quickly.

Catherine

Nice to actually see prices listed upfront. Saves you from having to call around just to figure out what you can afford.

What is a learning disability assessment?

A learning disability assessment is a formal evaluation by a registered psychologist that tests reading, writing, math, language processing, working memory, and attention to identify specific learning disorders such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia. The assessment produces a diagnostic report with recommendations schools use to approve accommodations like extra time, assistive technology, or alternative formats. It differs from school screening in depth and diagnostic authority.

What are the 7 specific learning disabilities?

Commonly referenced categories include dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (math), dysgraphia (written expression), auditory processing disorder, language processing disorder, visual processing deficit, and nonverbal learning disability. The DSM-5 groups most of these under Specific Learning Disorder with specifiers for reading, writing, or math. Which label applies depends on the pattern of strengths and weaknesses in the testing data.

What are the early warning signs of a learning disability?

Early signs include trouble connecting letters to sounds, slow or laboured reading well below grade level, persistent spelling difficulties, number sense struggles, handwriting that remains hard to read despite effort, and a large gap between verbal ability and written output. Children often work twice as hard for half the result. Teacher feedback that homework takes far longer than expected is a common trigger for referral.

How do I get my child tested for a learning disability in Canada?

Three main paths exist. Public school psychologists can conduct assessments at no cost, but wait times often stretch one to two years. Provincial health services or paediatric hospitals cover some assessments but have strict eligibility criteria. Private psychologists complete assessments in weeks to months for two to four thousand dollars, and many families go private when timing matters for a critical school year.

How much does a learning disability assessment cost in Canada?

Private psychoeducational or learning disability assessments typically cost two to four thousand dollars depending on the province, scope of testing, and whether ADHD or other co-occurring conditions are included. Most are not covered by OHIP or provincial health plans. Some extended health benefits reimburse a portion under psychological services. School board assessments are free but often have long wait times.

What tests are used in a learning disability assessment?

Standard batteries include cognitive tests (WISC-V or WAIS for adults), academic achievement tests (WIAT or WJ), phonological processing (CTOPP for dyslexia), language measures, memory and attention tasks, and behaviour rating scales completed by parents and teachers. The specific selection depends on the presenting concern and age. Clinicians combine the test data with developmental history and classroom observations to reach a diagnostic picture.

How long does a learning disability assessment take?

Direct testing usually takes 6 to 10 hours spread across two or three appointments. Scoring, report writing, and a feedback session add several weeks after testing ends. From first intake to final report, expect 4 to 12 weeks privately, significantly longer through the public system. Plan ahead if the report is needed for a specific school deadline.

What happens after a learning disability diagnosis?

The report outlines diagnoses, strengths, and specific recommendations for accommodations (extra time, text-to-speech, quiet room for tests) and interventions (structured literacy instruction for dyslexia, math fluency work). Schools use the report to build Individual Education Plans or equivalent accommodations. If emotional or self-esteem challenges have developed from school struggles, child therapists or teen therapists therapists can support the child alongside academic work.

Should I do a learning disability assessment, psychoeducational assessment, or ADHD assessment?

A learning disability assessment focuses narrowly on identifying specific LDs like dyslexia and is enough when academic skill gaps are the main concern. A broader psychoeducational assessment includes the LD work plus a full cognitive and processing profile, useful when the picture is complex or you want full documentation for accommodations across high school and university. If attention, impulsivity, and executive function are central, ADHD assessments may be the better primary assessment, sometimes combined with LD testing.

Can ADHD, autism, or anxiety look like a learning disability?

Yes, and this is a common reason assessments get redirected. ADHD assessments can produce the same inconsistent academic performance as a specific LD, and the two often co-occur. An autism assessment evaluation may clarify whether social-communication or sensory differences are contributing instead of a reading or writing disorder. Chronic anxiety therapists or low mood reduces working memory and attention, which can mimic LD patterns. A skilled assessor screens for all of these before settling on a diagnosis.
