Re: full adult ADD assessment covered by OHIP?

[Anonymous]

Larynxa, I do have private insurance. I just don’t think it’s enough to cover an aassessment and treatment (especially as I’m more interested in CBT than just medication). Though I guesss if I can time it properly, I can have the assessment at the end of the year and the therapy would fall under next years therapy. Though I guess I’d best get-on-it, then.

BuxomDiva- $2000 was that each?yeouch!!! Even for both that’s a lot.

Were you referred to CAMH by your GP? And was the referral for ADHD symptoms specifically?

I’m currently going through the process of having my 6 year old assessed. We are awaiting a referral to a developmental pediatrician (as there are a few symptoms that could go either way), though I’ve also been made aware of Nexus Youth Services, and they have great supports including the challenges program (in home counselling and support) which we’re currently on a waiting list for. If needed they have psychological assessment available as well.

Thanks for your great suggesstions I’ll look into both.
