How assessment payment works: Assessments are a flat fee, usually paid in three instalments. The final report is released once the fee is paid in full.

British Columbia: Autism Funding
If your child receives an autism diagnosis, you may be eligible for BC Autism Funding: up to $22,000 a year for children under 6 and up to $6,000 a year for ages 6 to 18. Our Registered Psychologists can provide a private diagnosis and complete the Non-BCAAN Diagnosis form. Psychologists do not need to be on the RASP list to provide this diagnosis.
Note: The Province has announced that Autism Funding will move to a new program and is accepting new applications until March 2027. We will keep this page updated as details are released.
