Maybe your child is clearly sharp yet cannot seem to start or finish anything, or maybe you are the adult who has been labeled scattered forever and finally wants a real answer. ADHD Evaluations in Sussex, WI offer children, teens, and adults a careful, individualized assessment, and you can start without any referral.
We ground every ADHD evaluation in a baseline of cognitive and executive function before adding the ADHD specific measures chosen for that particular person. One licensed psychologist handles the process throughout, so your evaluation never gets split between providers. Since anxiety, mood difficulties, and learning differences frequently accompany attention problems or disguise themselves as them, we make screening for those part of the work from the outset.
With children you might notice attention that fades quickly, tasks left half done, and a steady stream of fidgeting and motion. They frequently misplace things, blurt out and interrupt, and turn homework into a nightly battle that leaves everyone at home worn thin.
In teens, look for chronic procrastination and missed deadlines, disorganization across school and life, and careless mistakes on work they clearly understand. Time slips away from them, emotions run intense, and the grades on paper rarely capture the ability you know is there.
Adults often describe an ongoing restlessness, difficulty locking onto anything that is not urgent, and lateness that lingers no matter how hard they try. Impulsive choices and shaky follow through creep in, along with that exhausting feeling of working far harder than everyone else just to stay afloat.
Your evaluation begins with roughly an hour of clinical interview, where your psychologist collects a detailed history reaching from your early childhood into the demands of your present daily life. That background reveals the patterns and challenges that guide which ADHD specific assessments will actually serve you best.
Informed by the interview, your psychologist puts together a personalized battery of ADHD focused assessments. Testing spans about 2 to 6 hours in person over one or two days, and you go home with questionnaires; those closely involved in your life, parents, teachers, or partners, can complete their own to add perspective on attention, focus, and executive function.
Your psychologist assembles all of the testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into one comprehensive diagnostic report. If anything additional comes to light during the evaluation, such as anxiety or depression, those findings are included as well so nothing meaningful gets overlooked.
Roughly two to three weeks afterward, you come back for a feedback session where you receive your diagnosis together with individualized recommendations: practical strategies for home, school, or work, referrals toward therapy or coaching, medication guidance when it applies, and a clear next step suited to you.
No. A referral is never necessary at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to reach out to us directly, for any reason and on your own timeline.
Yes, considerably more. A full evaluation combines a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for conditions that can imitate ADHD. What comes back is a clear, layered picture rather than a simple yes or no form.
Absolutely. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and a great many adults seek testing after years of compensating, usually once the demands on them finally outpace the workarounds they developed.
We screen for anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, since these commonly co occur with or resemble ADHD and meaningfully change what will actually help.
A plain language written report and a feedback session with recommendations tailored to you, including school or workplace accommodations and practical strategies you can begin using right away.
Just call (414) 387-2100 and we will review availability and next steps with you. There is no referral you need to line up first.
