If my child is still a minor, should I use a paediatrician instead of an adult ADHD clinic in Ontario?

If your child is still a minor in Ontario, a paediatrician or family doctor is usually the appropriate public starting point rather than an adult ADHD clinic. Adult clinics and adult psychiatry programs typically set a lower age around the eighteenth birthday and are not designed for paediatric dosing, school collateral, or child-protection issues. OHIP covers medically necessary physician and paediatrician services; private adult ADHD clinics and psychologist testing are not listed as OHIP insured physician services. Coverage varies by province. Coverage varies by insurance plan. For private online child and teen ADHD care, review FasTreat’s paediatric service and current availability here.
