Maybe your child finishes the worksheet and then loses it somewhere between the kitchen table and the backpack. Maybe you are the one who is quick and capable in a meeting yet buried under half done projects at home. An Executive Function Evaluation in Glendale, WI looks honestly at why that gap keeps opening. No referral is needed to begin.
We open every evaluation with a baseline read of cognitive and executive function, then shape the rest of the testing around the concern that actually brought you in. One licensed psychologist stays on your case the whole way through, from the first conversation to the final recommendations. Because executive struggles rarely travel alone, we also screen for ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences that tend to sit underneath them.
A child may hear a three part instruction and complete only the first part, misplace things constantly, or fall apart when the plan changes. Homework that should take twenty minutes stretches into an hour, and getting started often feels harder than the work itself.
A teen might put things off until the last possible moment, miss deadlines that were clearly on the calendar, and carry a backpack and a laptop that are equally disorganized. The grades often sit below what their ability plainly suggests they could reach.
An adult may juggle appointments they keep forgetting, struggle to decide what matters most, and start far more than they finish. The tiring part is the constant sense of working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep ordinary life from slipping.
We start with about an hour of conversation where your psychologist learns the full background, from early development and school years to the executive concerns you are noticing right now. That discussion clarifies what you are hoping to answer and points us toward the measures that will tell us the most.
Your psychologist assembles a battery chosen specifically for you, usually 2 to 6 hours of in person work spread across one to two days. Depending on the questions we are chasing, we may add measures of processing speed, memory, or attention, and questionnaires go home to round out the picture.
Every score, observation, and questionnaire is drawn together into one detailed report that maps your strengths, your processing style, and the places where executive skills break down. If something like ADHD or anxiety comes into focus along the way, we document that finding too.
Roughly two to three weeks later you come back to talk it through. Your psychologist walks you through the results in plain terms and hands you individualized recommendations: supports for school or work, strategies built on what already works for you, and clear next steps.
No, a referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason at all, and we will loop in your other providers only if that is something you want.
The two overlap a great deal. Executive skills sit at the heart of ADHD, so we look closely at attention, planning, working memory, and self regulation, and along the way we screen for ADHD as well as the anxiety and learning differences that can mimic it.
It examines the everyday skills you rely on to plan, begin, organize, remember, and finish, set against a baseline of cognitive and executive function, and then ties those results back to the real difficulties you are living with.
Absolutely. We work with children, teens, and adults alike. Plenty of the adults we see arrive after years of quiet workarounds, usually once the demands of a job or a household finally outgrow those coping tricks.
Give us a call at (414) 387-2100 and we will walk you through the next steps. There is no referral to chase down and no gatekeeping; a single conversation is enough to get started.
You leave with a report written in plain language and a feedback session full of practical, individualized recommendations: routines, tools, accommodations, and next steps matched to how your mind actually operates.
