Maybe your child races ahead in one subject and stalls out in another, and you keep wondering where they actually stand. Maybe you have carried your own private questions about your strengths for years. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Fox Point, WI is how you trade guesswork for a clear picture, and no referral is needed to begin.
One licensed psychologist stays with you the whole way, from that first conversation through the testing and the feedback session, so nothing gets handed off midstream. Each evaluation starts from a shared baseline of ability, processing speed, working memory, and executive function, then narrows to your specific question. If something like ADHD or a learning difference shows up along the way, it gets screened for too.
A child who hit early milestones unevenly, who dives deep into one favorite topic while tuning out the rest, or who asks questions well past their years yet seems bored or frustrated at school. Often the tell is a wide gap between what they clearly can do and what shows up in daily work.
A teen who underperforms despite obvious ability, whose grades swing in ways that do not match their potential, or who is weighing acceleration and advanced coursework. Sometimes they simply want a clearer read on their strengths before making big choices about high school and beyond.
An adult who has always sensed a mismatch between what they are capable of and how things go, who wants language for lifelong patterns of strength and struggle, or who needs documentation to support planning at school or work. Understanding your own profile can reframe a lot.
We start with about an hour of conversation where your psychologist gathers the full background, from early development and school history to the concerns bringing you in now. This is where we pin down the real purpose of testing, whether that is a giftedness question, a baseline, or academic planning, and decide which measures will tell us the most.
Your psychologist assembles a battery built around your question, not a fixed script. Testing typically runs 2 to 6 hours of in person work spread across one to two days, and depending on the question it may add measures of executive function, processing speed, or memory. Take home questionnaires round out the context.
The testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results come together in one detailed report covering intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns, alongside anything worth flagging. If a condition like anxiety or a learning difference emerges during the process, it is documented clearly rather than set aside.
Typically two to three weeks later, you come back for a feedback session where your psychologist walks the results through in plain terms. You leave with individualized recommendations, from educational planning to strategies that lean on your strengths and any accommodations that make sense for your goals.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Reach out directly whenever you are ready, for any reason at all.
People come to us for giftedness identification, academic planning, making sense of uneven strengths, backing an accommodation request, or simply getting a clear read on how a child or adult thinks and learns.
No. We look at intellectual ability together with processing speed, working memory, and executive function, then explain what that whole profile means in real terms with recommendations you can act on.
Yes. We see children, teens, and adults. Plenty of adults come in to understand their own profile or to document strengths and needs for school or the workplace.
A plain language report and a feedback session that translates the findings into educational and practical guidance shaped around your goals.
