A question in regards to testing for learning disabilities in adults.?

I'm 90% sure I have some kind of learning disability. I have never been diagnosed as a child, but I have always done very poorly in school. Now that I'm looking at going to University, I want to make sure I get tested for any learning disabilities, so that I can get the extra help I need. The last thing I want to do is waste my money on tuition and end up failing. The University quoted me a price to see a Psychologist who would be able to properly diagnose me and give me the correct documentation so that I can get extra help at school. The price was between $2000- $3000. Even though my family will be taking care of this amount, it is still a lot of money. What my question is, is can I approach my own family doctor and ask him to refer me to a psychologist to give me this sort of testing, with a valid diagnosis and documentation, for a cheaper price than what I was quoted? I currently reside in Ontario, Canada.

best thing to do is just take your time. cause if you rush things you will end up where you started.feel me
