you have carried unanswered questions about your own mind for as long as you can remember. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Shorewood, WI is built to answer those questions with real substance, and there is no referral to arrange before you start.
One licensed psychologist guides your evaluation from beginning to end, so the person who first hears your concerns is the same one who explains the results. We anchor the work in a baseline of thinking ability and executive function, then shape everything around the concern you came in with. Anything else that emerges during testing, from attention to mood to a learning difference, is screened for rather than overlooked.
In Shorewood, a child who reaches some milestones remarkably early while trailing in others, fixates on a chosen interest, or drifts into boredom during class may be worth evaluating. The clearest flag is often the gulf between evident ability and everyday performance.
With teens, notice grades that fall short of an obvious mind, marks that fluctuate without explanation, or fresh questions about advanced coursework and acceleration. Some teens simply want their strengths clearly identified before making a major academic choice.
For adults, the pull is often a wish to understand a personal cognitive profile, to make sense of long running patterns of strength and struggle, or to secure documentation of abilities and needs for school or work. Clarity here can be quietly transformative.
We start with about an hour together, where your psychologist draws out a complete background: how development and schooling unfolded, and what cognitive concerns matter to you now. That conversation clarifies the aim of testing, whether giftedness identification, a baseline, or academic planning, and points to the measures that will be most useful.
Your psychologist then chooses a battery of intellectual and cognitive assessments fitted to your questions. Testing typically takes 2 to 6 hours across one to two days, and can include added measures of executive function, processing speed, memory, or adaptive skills when relevant. Questionnaires sent home fill in further context.
Scores, clinical observations, and questionnaire results are woven into a comprehensive report on intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns. Should other conditions such as ADHD or a learning difference surface during the process, those findings are documented as well.
Roughly two to three weeks afterward, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist talks you through the results in everyday language and shares individualized recommendations: educational planning, strategies that build on strengths, accommodations if they apply, and next steps aligned with your goals.
No. Core Spring Diagnostics never requires a referral to be seen. You can contact us on your own, for any reason and at whatever moment feels right.
Frequent reasons include identifying giftedness, planning for academics, understanding uneven strengths, supporting an accommodation request, or getting a clear sense of how a child or an adult thinks and learns.
No. We consider intellectual ability alongside processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, and then explain what the whole profile means in practical language with actionable recommendations.
Yes. We assess children, teens, and adults alike. Many adults come to us to understand their own profile or to document strengths and needs for school or the workplace.
A plain language written report and a feedback session that turns the results into educational and everyday guidance tailored to your goals.
