Assessments for autism, ADHD, learning disorders, functional needs — all ages

Autism, ADHD and psychoeducational assessments for children, teens and adults in Vancouver, BC.

An assessment that says what your child can do, what is hard, and what would help.

One multidisciplinary team — psychiatry, psychology, speech-language and motor — and one report your family, your school and BC's funding review can all use.

What the new benefit looks at

Eight areas of need.
One report that speaks to all of them.

From 2027 British Columbia decides support by need rather than by diagnosis, across eight areas. Here is each one, and what we put in the report.

01/ 08

Mental health

Anxiety, mood, OCD, and how a child settles after being upset.

A full psychiatry assessment in every assessment — MSP-covered with a referral.

In every ABC report Ministry's term: Mental health / regulation

02/ 08

Behaviour

Meltdowns, aggression, self-injury, rigidity — how often, and how intense.

Behaviour rating scales, read alongside the psychiatric evaluation.

In every ABC report Ministry's term: Behavioural complexity

03/ 08

Communication

Understanding other people, and being understood.

Speech-language evaluation by our SLPs — included in every autism assessment, and available on its own.

In every ABC report Ministry's term: Communication

04/ 08

Learning & thinking

Reasoning, memory, processing speed — and reading, writing, math.

Cognitive and academic testing, including dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia.

In every ABC report Ministry's term: Cognitive functioning

05/ 08

Daily living

Dressing, eating, sleeping, toileting, getting out of the door.

Adaptive behaviour assessment, in every autism and ADHD assessment.

In every ABC report Ministry's term: Adaptive functioning

06/ 08

Safety & supervision

How much watching a child needs to be safe at home, at school, outside.

Written up from the clinical interview and the adaptive scales — not a separate test.

Written into the report Ministry's term: Safety / supervision

07/ 08

Medical complexity

Health conditions that need ongoing medical care.

We take the medical and developmental history, and assess motor and posture (MABC-3). Complex medical care stays with your paediatrician, and occupational therapy is suspended here — when a file needs OT we say so, and refer.

Partly — and we say so Ministry's term: Medical complexity

08/ 08

Lifelong outlook

Whether the need is likely to last, and what it means for adulthood.

One multidisciplinary report showing how the needs hold across settings and over time.

Written into the report Ministry's term: Future living expectation

assessed in every report written into the report partly — occupational therapy is suspended

We are so thankful to get assessment done at All Brains Clinic for our boy.

Their location is perfect - easy to find parking and dining. It made our commute much easier especially driving all the way from lower mainland.

The people at All Brains Clinic helped us to understand our child's current situation and helped us to get prepared for the next steps.

Highly recommended

I found the clinic to be very well run.

The receptionist are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The team of specialists that they have compiled works well with each other and really enjoyed my experience.
