New Service: Private FASD Assessments Available from April 2026

March 14, 2026by Yogesh Thakker

 

Manor Clinic is pleased to introduce Manor FASD Assessment & Clinical Services (MFACS), offering private FASD assessments for children and adults starting April 2026.

FASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, learning, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. Many individuals experience these challenges for years without a clear understanding of the underlying cause. A comprehensive assessment can help provide clarity and guide appropriate supports.

Private FASD assessments may be helpful for children experiencing learning or behavioral difficulties, as well as adults who have long struggled with attention, organization, or daily life management. The assessment process involves a detailed review of developmental history and standardized psychological testing to better understand an individual’s strengths and areas of difficulty.

This service is designed for individuals who wish to pursue a private evaluation outside of publicly funded pathways.

Contact for Private FASD Assessments

All inquiries regarding private FASD assessments should be directed to MFACS.

Please do not contact the general Manor Clinic reception for FASD assessment inquiries, as these assessments are coordinated through a separate service.
