adult who looks organized to everyone else while quietly drowning in unfinished tasks. That daily gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it is real. An Executive Function Evaluation in Greenfield, WI is built to understand it, and you can start without a referral.
Each evaluation begins by establishing a baseline of cognitive and executive function, and from there we tailor everything to the concern you came in with. A single licensed psychologist carries your case from intake through feedback, so nothing is handed off midway. We also screen for the conditions that commonly sit beneath executive struggles, ADHD and anxiety chief among them, along with learning differences.
You might notice a child who cannot hold onto a multi step direction, who forgets and loses things again and again, and who reacts strongly whenever the routine shifts. Simple homework drags on and on, and just beginning it can be the hardest part of the whole evening.
Procrastination becomes the default, deadlines that were plainly known go by unmet, and both the backpack and the computer files live in disarray. Grades often land well short of what the teen is genuinely capable of achieving.
You may find yourself losing track of appointments, unsure how to rank what matters most, and surrounded by projects you began but never closed out. Underneath runs that draining feeling of expending twice the effort to manage the ordinary business of a day.
The process opens with roughly an hour of interview, during which your psychologist builds a full picture of your history, from developmental and academic milestones to the executive concerns showing up today. This is where we sharpen the purpose of testing and decide which measures will yield the clearest answers.
Your psychologist puts together a battery selected for your particular situation, typically 2 to 6 hours of face to face testing across one to two days. When the referral question calls for it, we fold in measures of memory, processing speed, or attention, and take home questionnaires add helpful context.
We consolidate all of the data, the clinical observations, and the questionnaire results into a single comprehensive report describing your abilities, your processing patterns, and the specific spots where executive function falters. Should ADHD, anxiety, or a learning difference emerge, those findings are recorded as well.
About two to three weeks out, you return for a feedback session where your psychologist explains everything clearly and lays out individualized recommendations. Expect guidance for school or work, strategies that make the most of your strengths, any warranted accommodations, and next steps shaped to your goals.
Not at all. Core Spring Diagnostics never requires a referral. Feel free to get in touch with us on your own, for whatever reason, and we will only communicate with your other providers if you specifically ask us to.
There is significant overlap between them. Since executive skills are so central to ADHD, the evaluation carefully examines attention, planning, working memory, and self-regulation, while also screening for ADHD and for the anxiety and learning differences that can resemble it.
It gauges the core abilities you use to plan, get started, stay organized, hold things in memory, and see tasks through, all measured against a cognitive and executive baseline, and it links those findings directly to what you notice in daily life.
Yes, indeed. Our work spans children, teens, and adults. A good number of adults reach out only after years of compensating quietly, typically at the point where the pressures of work or family finally overtake their usual workarounds.
The simplest path is to phone us at (414) 387-2100, and we will explain what comes next. No referral is necessary and there is nothing to qualify for; one phone call is all it takes to begin.
You come away with a report you can actually read and a feedback session grounded in practical, individualized recommendations: structures, tools, accommodations, and next steps tailored to the way your brain genuinely works.
