SaskADHD · STG Health
Explore what may explain your difficulties, discuss the findings and receive a written plan with recommendations.
Begin with clinician-reviewed screening. The $40 private-pay screening includes clinician review and a 20-minute phone conversation. Initial screening is free for NIHB-eligible clients. The button opens the STG Health intake portal; allow 10–25 minutes for the written form. Assessment phases and fees are separate.

Fees
Adults may seek assessment because ADHD is suspected, an earlier diagnosis needs clarification, or attention and executive-function difficulties overlap with anxiety, burnout, sleep or other concerns. The aim is a clinical explanation and a usable intervention plan, whether or not ADHD is confirmed.
The assessment combines clinical intake, validated psychometrics, functional and developmental history, and clinical integration. A nurse practitioner medical consultation may be coordinated when clinically indicated and available. It is not required for every assessment; any separate appointment and fee will be explained before booking.
Assessment is billed by the work clinically recommended, rather than as one compulsory package.
| Phase | What it covers | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Comprehensive intake | Clarify the concern, developmental history and assessment question; typically up to one clinician hour. | $225 |
| 2. Structured evaluation | Adult-focused tools and clinical interview; up to two clinician hours. | $450 |
| 3. Integration and planning | Review findings and prepare the written intervention plan; up to three clinician hours, with clinician collaboration where appropriate. | $675 |
Where all three assessment phases are recommended, their fees total $1,350, plus the $40 private-pay screening ($1,390 combined). Not everyone needs all three phases. This is an example, not a personal quote, typical total or maximum; additional services are separate. Your clinician confirms the proposed work and fees before you proceed.
Need a report for work, education or another provider? Explain its purpose early. Ask who will assess you, who will sign the findings, and whether the proposed documentation meets that purpose. Documentation depends on the evidence, professional scope and intended use.
Assessment outcome
The value of assessment is a clearer decision and an intervention plan you can actually use.
Clarity
A plain-language explanation of the most likely pattern, relevant overlap and any remaining uncertainty.
Direction
Specific priorities for psychotherapy, skills, sleep, medical review, accommodations or another service.
Communication
Direct verbal feedback plus a written summary designed to support future care and informed decisions.
Assessment domains
The assessment looks at the whole pattern rather than treating inattentiveness as a single, isolated symptom.
Attention
Sustaining attention, switching tasks, starting without crisis-level urgency and recovering after interruption.
Executive function
Working memory, time awareness, organization, prioritization, inhibition and follow-through across settings.
Context
Emotional regulation, anxiety, burnout, sleep, medical factors, developmental history and environmental demands.
Clinical logic
Similar difficulties can come from different mechanisms, and those mechanisms do not require identical treatment.
01
Anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep loss, burnout and medical conditions can all affect concentration and motivation.
02
ADHD is developmental. Timing, childhood patterns, school history and longstanding compensations change interpretation.
03
The central question is how the pattern affects work, relationships, self-care, learning and the effort required to stay afloat.
04
Urgent risk, severe instability or another primary condition may need attention before routine ADHD treatment.
You can begin with your own account of the difficulties. Existing records are helpful when available, but missing childhood school reports do not automatically prevent assessment. The clinician identifies what further information is relevant to the question being assessed.
The $40 clinician-reviewed screening helps identify the assessment question and next step. It is distinct from the assessment phases and does not itself establish a diagnosis.
At each stage, discuss what is known, what remains uncertain and whether more assessment would change the plan. The published assessment range is per phase, rather than a quoted total for every client. Ask about the proposed sequence, time commitment and funding before proceeding.
Feedback and the written intervention plan may guide psychotherapy, skills work, sleep care, medical review, accommodations or another service. Sharing information with another provider requires appropriate consent.
No. The process tests alternative explanations and may confirm ADHD, identify a mixed picture or recommend another route.
Bring whatever is available. Developmental history can be explored through multiple sources; missing school records do not automatically end the process.
No. Medication is a separate clinical decision. NP consultation may be recommended, but treatment planning also addresses skills, psychotherapy, sleep and environment.
The intervention plan can identify functional needs and reasonable supports. Formal documentation depends on the specific purpose, available evidence and professional scope.
Share what you want clarified, any existing assessment and the purpose of a written report. The clinician-reviewed screening helps identify the next step.
