Before you begin
Once you log in or register for your Maple account, you'll complete a short self-assessment to understand whether the program is right for you. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision before getting started.
The self-assessment takes about 5 minutes and asks questions about your symptoms and history, including any current diagnoses or treatments.
You’ll be able to see the results of the self-assessment upon completion. If your answers are consistent with common ADHD-symptoms and behaviours, the Beyond ADHD program may be the right option for you. If the results do not indicate probable ADHD, or if you’re uncertain, don’t worry – you can still request to speak to a practitioner on Maple to understand your options.
Appointment types
Beyond ADHD is a structured, three-step program — each visit builds on the last:
ADHD Assessment ($279 : Your first meeting with your practitioner, where they’ll conduct a comprehensive clinical interview, as well as review the results of your cognitive test and symptom questionnaires.
Diagnosis and Treatment ($179): Review all assessment results with your practitioner, get a formal diagnosis (if appropriate), and a personalized treatment plan.
Follow-Up Care ($59 for Maple members, or $99): Monitor progress and get support with your treatment plan over time.
Before each appointment, there will be pre-visit steps for you to complete — for details, check out the description of each appointment type below. Pre-visit steps become available once the appointment has been booked and must be completed before the deadline, or your visit will be cancelled — learn more about our cancellation policy here.
All patients need to start with an ADHD Assessment, even if you already have an ADHD diagnosis.
Step 1: ADHD Assessment
Pre-visit steps
Before your appointment takes place, you'll complete your pre-visit steps on the Maple platform:
Share your medical, educational, occupational, and family history, as well as any prior assessments or treatment documentation (up to 15 minutes)
A questionnaire to assess ADHD symptoms (~30 minutes)
A short neurocognitive assessment (~5 minutes)
Your appointment will be automatically cancelled if the steps are not completed 48 hours ahead of the scheduled appointment time.
During the ADHD Assessment visit
This 30-minute visit is all about building a complete picture for you and your practitioner by completing a video call to talk through:
The results of your pre-visit steps. Your practitioner reviews your history and assessment results before or during your visit so they arrive with helpful context, and can dig deeper into anything that stands out.
Check for other things that could be going on. Your practitioner will assess for conditions that can overlap with or look like ADHD, such as sleep issues, substance use, or autism spectrum traits. This helps rule out other explanations for your symptoms, and flags anything that needs a different kind of care.
Your next steps. By the end of the visit, your practitioner will have a clear sense of whether ADHD, or something else, may be present, and whether any additional information is needed before moving forward.
Step 2: Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
Pre-visit steps
Before your appointment takes place, you'll complete your pre-visit steps on the Maple platform:
Supporting statements: Short questionnaires completed by people who know you well. You'll invite your contacts by email from your Maple program hub. They get a secure link and complete a short form — no login or Maple account required (~10-20 minutes)
Health vitals: Your practitioner needs current vitals to safely review treatment options. We need your height, weight, and blood pressure, measured within the last 7 days of your visit. (~2-5 minutes)
ADHD neurocognitive assessment: You’ll complete an ADHD-specific neurocognitive assessment — five game-like cognitive tasks that measure attention, memory, and executive function. It’s best to complete this assessment on your own in a quiet space. (~ 25 minutes)
Your appointment will be automatically cancelled if pre-visit steps are not completed within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment time.
During the Diagnosis and Treatment Plan appointment
This 30-minute visit turns everything gathered in your ADHD Assessment and pre-visit steps into a treatment plan or clear direction for care. Expect to:
Review all the information and results gathered to date in detail.
Get a formal diagnosis (where appropriate). If your results support it, your practitioner will confirm an ADHD diagnosis. If ADHD isn't the best explanation for your symptoms, they'll explain what they found and discuss other possibilities and next steps instead.
If you receive a Beyond ADHD diagnosis, a formal diagnosis letter is saved to your records on Maple. You can use this letter for school, work, or insurance purposes.
Build a treatment plan. discuss medication and non-medication options, outline next steps for prescriptions (with a stimulant treatment agreement, if relevant) or other treatment directives and follow-up timing.
Answer your questions, so you leave the visit clear on what comes next and why.
If your practitioner determines you don’t have ADHD
If your practitioner determines that ADHD isn't the best explanation for your symptoms they will explain the findings, discuss other possibilities, and recommend next steps, which may involve a referral to your family doctor or another specialist.
Step 3: Follow-up
Pre-visit steps
Before your appointment takes place, you'll complete your pre-visit steps on the Maple platform:
Input your health vitals (~2-5 minutes)
Complete a short intake form covering your current symptoms and any side effects (if applicable) (~5 minutes)
Short ADHD neurocognitive assessment (~20 minutes)
Your appointment will be automatically cancelled if pre-visit steps are not completed by 24 hours ahead of the scheduled appointment time.
During follow-up appointments
These 15-minute appointments give you a consistent touchpoint with your practitioner, so that you can adjust your plan as your needs change and keep building on the strategies that are actually working for you. In a follow-up visit, you’ll:
Review your progress and check in on how you've been doing since your last visit.
Talk through strategies that are working or not working for you, including approaches for school, work, and daily life.
Discuss medication effects, side effects, or adjustments, and issue prescriptions or refills (where applicable).
Answer your questions and let you know when to book your next visit.
If medication is part of your treatment plan, expect to book follow-up appointments every 4 weeks while adjusting to a new medication, every 3 months once you're stabilized, or anytime you experience side effects or a change in symptoms.
