Carolynn Hare

Adjunct Research Professor

Dr. Carolynn Hare’s interdisciplinary research combines cognitive neuroscience and community-engaged methodologies to advance understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence across development. Building on doctoral research examining audiovisual multisensory integration in children and adults with ADHD using behavioural and EEG methodologies, her current work focuses on factors contributing to chronic school absenteeism, including sensory sensitivity, school relationships, and school exclusion. Guided by a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, Dr. Hare also explores lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals, including barriers to diagnosis and treatment, internalized stigma, and individual strengths. Across her research, she is committed to collaborative partnerships, knowledge mobilization, and promoting mental health equity.
