Maybe your child still lines up fingers to add small numbers, or the tears start the moment a worksheet of sums lands on the table. Our Dyscalculia Testing in Elkhorn, WI looks closely at where number sense and math reasoning actually break down. No referral is needed to begin.
From your first phone call to the day we sit down with results, one licensed psychologist stays with your case, and for the math portion an in house learning disability specialist runs the subject specific testing beside them. We see children, teens, and adults, and because dyscalculia rarely travels alone, every evaluation also screens for the conditions that commonly ride along with it.
In the early grades, watch for confusion about what a number actually means, slow recall of basic facts like adding and subtracting, and mixing up place value. Counting on fingers long after peers have stopped, paired with genuine dread at math homework, is a familiar pattern worth a closer look.
By middle and high school, algebra, multi step word problems, and estimating time or money can feel impossible even when other subjects come easily. Many teens describe feeling sharp everywhere except math, and no amount of extra effort seems to close a gap that keeps growing.
Adults often sidestep budgeting, second-guess a tip or the change they are owed, and reach for a calculator on the simplest arithmetic. A quiet embarrassment about numbers tends to resurface at work or the first time they try to help their own child with homework.
We open with a roughly one hour conversation in which your psychologist maps out how math skills developed, from earliest number sense through today's sticking points, alongside the broader academic story. That history steers which measures will most clearly reveal the source of the difficulty.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized battery that pairs cognitive and executive function measures with focused math and numerical processing tasks administered by our in house learning disability specialist. Expect roughly 2 to 6 hours of inperson work spread over one to two days, plus questionnaires for you and for teachers or others who see the learning up close.
Findings from both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are drawn together into one detailed report. It covers cognitive ability, numerical processing, math fluency, and problem solving, and it flags any co occurring conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, or math anxiety.
Typically two to three weeks later, you come back for a feedback session where both clinicians explain what the results mean in plain terms. You leave with individualized recommendations spanning intervention strategies, school accommodations, assistive tools, and clear next steps.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out on your own, for any reason at all, and we only loop in your school or another provider if that is something you want us to do.
Math learning disorders need testing built for them. Your psychologist owns the cognitive and executive function baseline and the wider clinical read, while our in house learning disability specialist handles the math specific measures. Both sit in on the feedback session so the pieces come together correctly.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability affecting number sense, math facts, and calculation, and it has nothing to do with effort or intelligence. A formal evaluation separates it from math anxiety or gaps in teaching and locates exactly where the breakdown lives.
Absolutely. We assess children, teens, and adults. Plenty of adults come to us after a hard time in math-heavy courses or jobs, or while trying to help their own children, and we tailor the process to where you are in life.
It depends on the findings, but common ones include extra time on math- ased tests, permission to use a calculator or formula sheet, and alternative ways to be assessed. The report spells out specifics that schools, universities, and employers can put into practice.
Call us at (414) 387-2100 and we will talk through your concerns, answer your questions, and find a starting point that works for your schedule. No referral is needed to book.
