in Ontario:

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:04.200

Ontario lists five public
diagnostic hubs for children

and youth but no fee
schedule on the cited page,

6
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:16.800
so ask the hub
what you would owe.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.300
Providers describe the
same core steps:

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.100
an intake interview,
a day or two of testing,

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:24.200
a clinical interview,
a written report

00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:27.100
and a feedback session.

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:29.100
