Respectful and collaborative
Trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming
Focused on strengths as well as challenges

Assessment Process at Our Clinic
1 - INITIAL INTAKE
You fill a brief intake form on this page to help us understand your concerns, history, and goals for the assessment and a brief consultation may be scheduled to determine whether an ADHD assessment is appropriate and to answer any initial questions you might have.
2 - COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT APPOINTMENTS
The formal (virtual or in person) assessment typically includes:
-
Screening for other factors that may impact attention
(developmental, academic, work, and mental health history)
-
Standardized ADHD questionnaires
-
A detailed clinical interview
(anxiety, depression, etc. )
3 - DIAGNOSTIC FORMULATION & WRITTEN REPORT
Following the assessment, the clinician integrates all information gathered and makes a formal diagnostic (in French or English). The report includes:
-
Diagnostic impressions
-
A clear explanation of findings
-
Personalized recommendations for school, work, therapy, or daily life
-
If requested, detailed documentation can be provided to support requests for accommodations in educational or workplace settings, or to share the assessment results with a healthcare provider.
A feedback session follows afterwards, during which the therapist and client review the results together, address any questions, and discuss recommendations and next steps.
