Sometimes it is the homework that never makes it back, sometimes the meetings that slip away, sometimes an adult finally naming a lifelong pattern. Core Spring's Oconomowoc ADHD evaluations are built around the concerns that brought you in, for children, teens, and adults, with one psychologist start to finish. Reach out on your own, no referral needed.
We identify the patterns of ADHD, from inattention and impulsivity to hyperactivity or internal restlessness, and look at disorganization, executive-function challenges, common overlaps like anxiety or learning differences, and the developmental history that shapes how it all shows up day to day. One psychologist runs the entire process, from clinical interview to testing to feedback, with each assessment paced around your situation rather than a fixed schedule.
Trouble sitting still in class, missing instructions, losing track of homework, frequent fidgeting, impulsive blurting, forgetfulness, and grades that swing despite real ability.
Chronic procrastination, missed deadlines, emotional impulsivity, forgetfulness, scattered study habits, and trouble keeping up as academic demands ramp up.
Missing deadlines, chronic disorganization, forgetfulness, restlessness, impulsive decisions, drifting focus during meetings, masking the struggle at work, or a lifelong sense of underperforming relative to what you know you can do.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a thorough background, from childhood through your day-to-day life today. This conversation helps identify the specific patterns, challenges, and history that inform which ADHD-specific assessments will be most effective for your situation.
Based on your clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of ADHD-focused assessments. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. You will also be sent home with questionnaires, and individuals closely involved in your life (parents, teachers, or partners) can receive their own questionnaires to provide additional perspective on attention, focus, and executive function patterns.
Your psychologist compiles all testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into a detailed diagnostic report. If anything else surfaces during the evaluation (such as anxiety, depression, or other co-occurring conditions), those findings are included so nothing gets overlooked.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. This is where you receive your diagnosis along with individualized recommendations: practical strategies for home, school, or work, resources for therapy or coaching, medication guidance if applicable, and next steps tailored to your specific needs.
Executive function skills like planning, organization, working memory, and impulse control are commonly affected by ADHD. Testing these skills provides a clinical baseline that helps the psychologist understand how ADHD impacts real-world performance and tailor recommendations to the individual’s specific strengths and weaknesses.
For younger children, testing sessions are shorter and more frequent, with breaks built in as needed. Core Spring Diagnostics does not use fixed session counts or rigid timelines, so the pace is always matched to the child’s attention span and comfort level.
ADHD affects attention regulation and executive function, while slow processing speed affects how quickly someone takes in and responds to information. Both can affect school performance, and they can co-occur. The cognitive and executive function baseline at Core Spring Diagnostics measures processing speed alongside attention and executive skills to distinguish between them.
Yes. The evaluation report includes findings and recommendations that adults can use to request workplace accommodations. These may address strategies for managing deadlines, reducing distractions, organizing tasks, and improving communication with supervisors or colleagues.
The psychologist reviews the full findings, explains any diagnoses, and walks through the individualized recommendations. It is your opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, and start planning next steps. Parents, partners, or other support people can attend.
Every evaluation includes comorbidity screening for anxiety, depression, learning differences, and autism. The cognitive and executive function baseline provides objective data that helps distinguish ADHD from other conditions with overlapping symptoms. One psychologist manages the entire process, ensuring clinical consistency throughout.
