Maybe your teen is smart but drowning in missed assignments, and every conversation about school ends in the same stalemate. Or maybe you have spent years suspecting something about your own focus and never had it looked at. Our ADHD Evaluations in Grafton, WI are here to take that question seriously, with no referral required to start.
We ground each of our ADHD Evaluations in Grafton, WI in a cognitive and executive function baseline, measured up front so attention is assessed against something solid. On top of that we add the ADHD specific measures your circumstances call for, with one licensed psychologist steering the whole assessment. And because anxiety, learning differences, and mood so often overlap with or mimic ADHD, we screen for them as a standard part of the work.
In children this often surfaces as constant movement and attention that wanders before a task is done. Homework can become a nightly struggle, small chores stretch far beyond reason, and belongings seem to vanish between one moment and the next.
For teens, the clearest sign is often ability that outstrips the grades on paper. Assignments go unfinished, planners and lockers become disorganized, careless errors mark work they know well, and emotions can run high when plans go sideways.
Adults commonly describe restlessness and a struggle to focus on anything without pressing urgency. Lateness becomes habitual, intentions stall unfinished, impulsive decisions surface, and there is a tiring undercurrent of pushing harder than those around them merely to keep up.
Your evaluation begins with a one hour clinical interview in which your psychologist gathers a full background, from childhood on through your day to day life now. This discussion brings out the patterns, challenges, and history that inform which ADHD specific assessments will work best in your case.
Guided by that clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of ADHD focused assessments. Testing runs roughly two to six hours of in person evaluation over one to two days, you are sent home with questionnaires, and people closely involved in your life, such as parents, teachers, or a partner, can receive their own to add perspective on attention and focus.
Your psychologist compiles the testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into a single detailed diagnostic report. If anything further emerges during the evaluation, such as anxiety or depression, those findings are documented as well so nothing is left unaddressed.
Roughly two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. This is where you receive your diagnosis together with individualized recommendations: practical strategies for home, school, or work, resources for therapy or coaching, medication guidance if it applies, and next steps tailored to your needs.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to reach out to us directly, for any reason at all.
No. A complete evaluation brings together a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for the conditions that can mimic ADHD. You end up with a clear picture, not a yes or no form.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults. Many adults come to us after a lifetime of compensating, often at the moment when the demands on them finally outpace their usual workarounds.
We look at anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, because these frequently accompany or resemble ADHD and shift what actually helps.
You will come away with a plain language report and a feedback session that includes individualized recommendations, from school or workplace accommodations to practical strategies for everyday life.
