We provide individualized testing for dyscalculia in children, teens, and adults, led start to finish by one psychologist. Dyscalculia affects how a person understands numbers, performs calculations, and applies math in everyday life.
Every evaluation starts with a cognitive and executive function baseline, then builds out around number sense, place value, calculation skills, quantitative reasoning, and practical math abilities such as telling time and managing money. A learning disability specialist handles the dyscalculia-specific testing while one psychologist oversees the full process and your individualized recommendations. Questionnaires go to the people who see the math struggle most, and your report is typically ready in two to three weeks, followed by a feedback session.
Children who struggle with counting, number recognition, or basic math concepts, or who melt down with frustration during everyday math tasks.
Teens still wrestling with calculations, word problems, or math-based subjects despite real effort, strong support, and plenty of practice.
Adults who still avoid budgeting, struggle with time management, or feel anxious around numbers at home, in daily life or at work.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a detailed history of math development and academic performance, from early number sense through current challenges. This conversation helps determine which assessments will most effectively identify the source of math-related difficulties.
Your psychologist coordinates a personalized testing battery that combines cognitive and executive function assessments with targeted math and numerical processing evaluations conducted by an in-house learning disability specialist. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. This combined approach evaluates both underlying cognitive patterns and specific math skill breakdowns. Questionnaires are also sent to you and to teachers or others involved in your learning environment.
All testing data from both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report covering cognitive abilities, numerical processing, math fluency, problem-solving, and any co-occurring conditions (such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety around math).
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the diagnosis and provides individualized recommendations: math intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive tools, and next steps tailored to your specific learning profile.
Before the feedback session, the psychologist and LD specialist review and integrate their findings. The psychologist shares cognitive and executive function data, and the LD specialist shares dyscalculia-specific testing results. Together, they develop a unified clinical picture and a coordinated set of recommendations. At the feedback session, both clinicians present their findings and answer questions, ensuring you benefit from both areas of expertise.
Yes. Math processing deficits can create downstream challenges in any subject that relies on numerical reasoning, including chemistry, physics, statistics, economics, and even programming when it involves mathematical logic. A dyscalculia evaluation can identify which specific processing areas are affected and produce targeted recommendations for how to succeed in these fields despite a math learning disability, including compensatory strategies and formal accommodations.
The feedback session is structured so both clinicians present in a complementary, not redundant, way. The psychologist typically begins with the cognitive and executive function overview and any co-occurring condition findings, and the LD specialist follows with the dyscalculia-specific results. Both then discuss how the findings interact and what the combined picture means for treatment and accommodations. You are encouraged to ask questions of both clinicians throughout the session.
Dyscalculia can create real barriers in careers that require numerical reasoning, financial management, or data-heavy work. However, many individuals with dyscalculia succeed in these areas with the right accommodations and strategies in place. An evaluation clarifies exactly which mathematical processes are affected, which remain intact, and what accommodations or tools would allow full participation. This clinical picture can inform both career planning and accommodation requests with employers.
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan and benefits. Core Spring Diagnostics can discuss billing options during the intake process. Many clients use HSA or FSA funds for neuropsychological evaluations. Contacting your insurance provider in advance of scheduling is the best way to understand your out-of-pocket costs.
Yes. Core Spring Diagnostics works with children, teens, and adults from Port Washington and surrounding Ozaukee County communities seeking dyscalculia evaluations. The two-clinician evaluation team provides specialized depth that general psychological assessments cannot match for math learning disability diagnosis.
