ADHD ASSESSMENTS
Our approach at Harbour Therapy
At Harbour Therapy, our neuropsychologists offer adult ADHD assessments designed to provide a clear understanding of the situation and practical intervention strategies. Whether you are seeking answers for yourself, or a loved one, our goal is to deliver an assessment process that is respectful, thorough, and supportive. We believe assessment should feel:
Respectful and collaborative
Trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming
Focused on strengths as well as challenges

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.
