A single licensed psychologist stays with you through the whole evaluation, from the opening conversation to the day you sit down for feedback. The work starts from a baseline of thinking ability and executive function, then narrows toward the questions that brought you in. If something else shows up along the way, such as attention or learning differences, it is folded into the screening rather than set aside.
Our evaluations provide an in depth understanding of math related learning and cognitive skills, focusing on number sense, place value, calculation, quantitative reasoning, and practical math concepts such as time and money. We also assess how these challenges contribute to math related academic frustration and everyday functioning.
Our office at 10625 W North Ave in Wauwatosa is conveniently located within driving distance of Racine, offering access to comprehensive, specialized care.
A Glendale child worth evaluating may hit some milestones strikingly early while lagging in others, lock onto a favorite topic with unusual intensity, or grow bored and restless in class. Watch for a wide gap between obvious ability and the work that actually gets done.
In teens the tell is often underachievement that does not match the mind you see at home, grades that swing without a clear reason, or big questions about acceleration and advanced coursework. Some simply want a clear read on their strengths before choosing a path.
Adults often arrive wanting to name lifelong patterns of easy wins and quiet struggles, to finally understand their own profile, or to document strengths and needs for a degree program or a job. A clear picture can settle years of wondering.
We open with about an hour of conversation, where your psychologist gathers the full story: developmental history, school experience, and the cognitive concerns on your mind today. That discussion sets the purpose of testing, whether it is a giftedness question, a baseline, or academic planning, and shapes which measures will tell us the most.
Your psychologist builds a battery of intellectual and cognitive measures around your specific questions. Testing usually runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days, with room to add tools for executive function, processing speed, memory, or adaptive skills as needed. Take home questionnaires round out the context.
All of it, scores, observations, and questionnaire results, is drawn together into a detailed report on intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns. Anything else that surfaced, such as ADHD or a learning difference, is documented alongside the core findings.
Typically two to three weeks later you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through what the results mean in plain terms and lays out individualized recommendations: educational guidance, strategies that lean on your strengths, accommodations where they fit, and a next step that matches your goals.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to reach out directly, for any reason and at any point.
People come in to identify giftedness, plan for school, make sense of uneven strengths, support an accommodation request, or simply get a clear read on how a child or adult thinks and learns.
No. We look at intellectual ability together with processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, then explain what the whole profile means in practical terms with recommendations you can act on.
Yes. We see children, teens, and adults. Many adults come to understand their own profile or to document their strengths and needs for school or the workplace.
A clear, plain language report and a feedback session that turns the results into educational and everyday guidance shaped around your goals.
