If you have extended health insurance, sometimes it covers part of the psychologist and speech-language pathologist costs, but you will need to contact your extended health insurance to confirm. Prices vary across different practitioners. You will need to call/research the price for each psychologist. Typically, the cost of a private autism assessment in BC is around $2500-3500, but it varies across each practitioner.
