Perhaps you already know your child is smart, yet anything that has to be written comes out slow, messy, and far short of what they can say aloud. Our Dysgraphia Testing in Greenfield, WI finds out whether a true writing disability is behind that gap and how to close it. You do not need a referral to begin.
One licensed psychologist carries your evaluation from the opening interview to the final feedback session, joined by an in house learning disability specialist who handles the writing specific measures. Children, teens, and adults are all welcome here, and because dysgraphia rarely shows up alone, we screen for the conditions that tend to travel with it.
Handwriting that shifts from line to line, words with little space between them, and slow, effortful writing paired with an awkward pencil grip. Copying from the board is a struggle, and the finished work sits well below the knowledge the child shows so easily in conversation.
Disorganized essays, strong ideas that never fully make it onto the page, and notes too rough to study from. Written assignments get put off or avoided, and shortcuts become the norm because the effort of writing crowds out the quality of the thinking.
Notes that fall behind fast, reports that are tough to organize, and a habit of leaning on dictation or templates to get by. Handwriting feels tiring and frustrating, and many gradually route around jobs and tasks that require a lot of writing.
The process starts with a one hour clinical interview in which your psychologist collects a full history of writing and fine motor development, from those first handwriting attempts to the written expression hurdles you face today. What surfaces here shapes the choice of assessments so they target the real difficulty.
The psychologist and the learning disability specialist merge all their data into a single diagnostic report covering cognitive ability, fine motor skill, written expression, spelling, and any co occurring conditions like ADHD or another learning difference that show up along the way.
The data from the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are merged into one detailed diagnostic report addressing cognitive abilities, fine motor skills, written expression, spelling, and any co occurring conditions, whether ADHD or another learning difference.
About two to three weeks after testing, you return for feedback. Your psychologist talks through the diagnosis in everyday language and lays out individualized recommendations, including writing intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive technology choices, and next steps shaped around your specific needs.
Not at all. A referral is never a condition of being seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are free to contact us directly for any reason, and we coordinate with a school or another provider only when you ask us to.
Writing disorders need testing built for them. The psychologist manages the cognitive and executive function baseline and the larger clinical picture, and an in house learning disability specialist carries out the writing specific testing. Both clinicians attend the feedback session, which keeps the final picture complete and precise.
No. Dysgraphia interferes with the entire process of producing written language, appearing in spelling, spacing, organization, and the effort writing takes, not just in untidy letters. A formal evaluation tells a real writing disability apart from a lack of practice and pinpoints where the breakdown lives.
Absolutely. Our evaluations serve children, teens, and adults alike, and many adults arrive after years of compensating for writing difficulties in school or on the job. We tailor the process to your stage of life and the settings where writing carries the most weight.
Yes. It documents specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and employers can put to use, such as extended time, a scribe or keyboard, assistive technology, and lighter handwriting demands where appropriate.
Just call (414) 387-2100. We will explain what to expect and set a time that suits your schedule. Since no referral is required, that single call is enough to get started.
