Introducing an Ontario Non-Profit offering online Assessments and Diagnosis to Autistic and Neurodivergent individuals

Get official diagnosis, in-depth assessments, and other supports from the comfort of your home.

_Founded by Autistic individuals_

Our Approach

Our non-profit corporation was created by Autistic individuals who understand the challenges of living in a world created for the Neuromajority.

At the moment we are offering:

We are aware of the gaps that Autistic adults (specially AFAB) and other neurodivergent individuals are facing within our Health systems, and we strive to create a collaborative community where more accessible and free resources are available to all, and a work opportunity for Neurodivergent service providers.

Our inclusive, anti-capitalistic, anti-racist and respectful approach is an option to all who have trouble navigating the Social Services and Mental Health Systems.

We are getting organized to offer: Tutors; Support workers; Social Spaces; Free Mindfulness classes; low-cost therapy resources; Clinical Supervision for Psychotherapists who want to work with the Neurodivergent community; body doubling; ADHD and Autism coaches, Psychedelics harm reduction, and more!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OFFICIALS FORMS:

Our Mental Health Nurse practitioners are happy to help you with Ontario official forms, insurer requests, Tax Credit forms, and other necessary bureaucracy that our Neurodivergent clients may need. However:

1) First find out at your School’s Health department, with your GP or in the Health Unit that you usually go to. They are OHIP covered, and can do this too, based on the official diagnosis you will have in your hands.

2) If you want our NP to do this for you, you need to book an additional appointment at which you need to be present, and is not included in the cost of the diagnosis. If you have an urgent need send us a note so we can try to bypass the waiting list.

Our Mission : By Neurodivergent Minds, For Neurodivergent Lives

As we grow, and receive grants and donations, we hope we will also be able to offer these services for free, like they should be! In the meantime, we keep our costs and structure very lean and only charge our practitioner’s fees and a small administrative charge to cover the monthly costs.

We’re a nonprofit created by autistic and SOGIE divergent individuals who understand the unique challenges of living in a world designed for the neuromajority. Our mission is to make diagnosis, support, resources, and community more accessible to all neurodivergent individuals, especially those who often face barriers in traditional health systems.

Our Vision : A World Where Neurodivergence Thrives

Our vision:

Neurodiversity affirming Support: A space where neurodivergent individuals are supported, and can access excellent, comprehensive diagnostic and follow-up services that do not pathologize neurodiversity and also emphasize each person's strengths.

More accessible fees. Fast Turnaround. Professional Competence.

Frequently Asked Question ( FAQ )

Welcome to NeuroInclusive!
As a nonprofit dedicated to providing transparent, affirming, and accessible assessments for ADHD, AuDHD, and Autism (ASD), we understand that seeking a diagnosis can bring up many questions and concerns. Here are some commonly asked questions along with our responses to help you navigate our services

  • Our tests and assessments are conducted by Psychometrists who are also Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and are trained clinical psychologists in other countries but cannot use that designation in Canada. They work together with a specialized Mental Health Nurse Practitioner authorized to provide official diagnoses in the Province of Ontario. All staff members adhere to neurodiversity-affirming practices, focusing on both strengths and challenges, and are registered with their respective regulatory colleges.

  • At NeuroInclusive, we celebrate and affirm neurodiversity. It is a delicate dance between providing a medically sound, official diagnosis that uses the standardized language that for instance a Hospital would accept, and writing in a respectful, affirming manner. Our reports and assessments not only address challenges associated with ADHD and Autism but also highlight individual strengths and appreciate the coping skills of our clients/patients.. We believe in recognizing the unique ways neurodivergent individuals process and experience the world, and see them as net contributors to our society.

  • Fees are always based on a service provided. We are a nonprofit and charge only a one-time-fee of $140 per assessment to cover all taxes and organizational fees. The total fees for assessment and diagnosis (includes a 30-60 pages comprehensive report and diagnostic letter) are as follows:

    • ADHD & Autism Assessment: $1,630.00 (all-inclusive)

    • Autism Only Assessment: $1,410.00 (all-inclusive)

    • ADHD Comprehensive Assessment: $740 (all-inclusive)

    We do not charge any additional fees on top of what each practitioner charges for their services. As a nonprofit, we strive to keep our services affordable while ensuring that 100% of your fees go towards covering practitioner costs and clinic operations.

  • Do you offer financial assistance for those who cannot afford the full fee?

    Yes! We have some sliding scale spots for those facing financial hardship. Please contact us directly to discuss your situation and explore payment options that may be available to you.

    We are also actively working on fundraising efforts, and obtaining grants to be able to offer this service with a subsidy or even free to those who need that.

  • We prefer payment via e-transfer or cash to avoid incurring credit card fees. Our nonprofit status allows us to focus on directly supporting our services without the burden of transaction fees.

    if you prefer to pay with Credit Card, we will include the card processing fees in your invoice (usually around 3 %).

  • After your diagnosis, we provide ongoing support to help you integrate the diagnostic information into your life. This includes strategizing potential supports and resources. We can also refer you to organizations and practitioners that work in a neurodiversity-affirming, non-pathologizing manner in fields such as psychotherapy and occupational therapy.

  • Yes! Part of our staff identifies as trans and has completed the training for transgender care provided by Rainbow Health Ontario. We are committed to creating an inclusive and affirming environment for individuals of all gender identities.

  • Our founder, Tarver, identifies as AuDHD and is an ADHD coach with extensive training. They have created a unique neurodiversity-affirming model of mindfulness meditation, helping numerous clients overcome anxiety and challenges related to navigating a world designed for the neuromajority.

  • Absolutely. We believe that services to support neurodivergent individuals, especially autistic adults in Ontario, should be covered by OHIP and made available free of charge. We continue to advocate for these changes alongside other professionals as we work to address the mental health crisis.

  • Begin with a free intake interview to discuss your needs with one of our founders, Hope or Tarver (they do this on a volunteer basis, and has no cost to you). This initial consultation will help ensure our services align with your requirements. Following the intake, you'll be guided through the assessment process on our secure telehealth platform.
