Hello!

Ottawa, Ontario resident here!! I got tested for an LD (called a "learning assessment") as an adult by a psychologist.

Psychiatrist might be able to do it, but they generally focus on mental disorders instead.

Therapists, depending on the training MIGHT be able to do it.

But honestly, through insurance - get a doctors note saying you need the assessment done. Then get to a psychologist specializing in learning assessments/disabilities or who is an "educational psychologist". Then you do have to pay first yourself (usually) but then you submit the bill payments/receipts to your insurance along with the doctors note - you'll get most of it back!!

Universities do learning assessments, but only if you're a student. Are you a student at a university/college?? If there is a disability centre for students there, you can go and they'll point you toward someone.

If you're in Ottawa though - PM me and I'll give you the name/number of the man I saw. He was good! Although for three DAYS of testing (one day to meet, two days of testing... 2-3 hours each day) and the one day to meet a few weeks later to go through the results, cost me over a grand.

If you're covered by the BSWD through OSAP, it will be covered through them though!!
