Perhaps you are the one who has quietly struggled with math or spelling since grade school, or you are watching your own kid hit that same wall. A Learning Disability Evaluation in Greenfield, WI names the specific difference behind the struggle and points to what helps. You can start without any referral.
Testing here always begins from a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then moves into targeted academic assessment led by an in house learning disability specialist who works alongside one licensed psychologist. The two of them examine reading, writing, and math to locate the true source of the difficulty. That same evaluation also screens for the conditions that so often accompany a learning difference, so nothing important slips by.
In younger children, the tell is a mismatch between effort and result in one narrow area of learning. You might see a kid who steers clear of a certain subject, produces slow or error filled work only there, and grows frustrated in a way that does not fit how capable they are everywhere else.
Teens often mask the problem until the workarounds stop working. Signs include falling short in a single subject despite honest effort, sidestepping particular assignments, and a gap that keeps growing even when more practice is thrown at it.
For adults, it usually reads as a lifelong soft spot in one academic skill that got quietly managed for years. It tends to resurface when a degree program or a job asks more than the old coping strategies can deliver, prompting a long overdue answer.
The process starts with roughly an hour of focused conversation in which your psychologist gathers a complete academic and developmental history, from your earliest schooling to whatever brought you in now. What surfaces here guides where we look and which measures will earn their place in the battery.
Next comes a personalized battery that pairs broad cognitive testing with sharp academic skill measures, generally 2 to 6 hours of in person testing across one to two days. The in house learning disability specialist takes the lead on the reading, writing, or math assessment, and rating forms are shared with you and with teachers or others who see the learning up close.
Everything gathered by the psychologist and the LD specialist is woven into one detailed report spanning cognitive strengths, academic achievement, and any processing differences. If a related concern such as ADHD or anxiety emerges along the way, it is documented rather than set aside.
About two to three weeks out, you return for a feedback meeting where both clinicians explain the findings in language that makes sense. You walk away with tailored recommendations covering accommodations, day to day strategies for school or work, and referrals to tutoring or therapy that fit the specific profile.
No. Core Spring Diagnostics never asks for a referral. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason, and we will coordinate with your child’s school only when you would like us to.
Academic disorders require dedicated subject testing. Your psychologist holds the cognitive and executive baseline and the larger clinical picture, while our in house specialist administers the academic measures in reading, writing, and math. Both join your feedback session together.
We evaluate reading disabilities including dyslexia, writing disabilities including dysgraphia, and math disabilities including dyscalculia, together with the attention and cognitive elements that affect learning.
Yes, fully. We assess children, teens, and adults, and many adults reach out when the demands of school or work finally overtake the strategies they have relied on for years.
Yes. The report spells out specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and workplaces can act on, including support for an IEP, a 504 plan, and testing accommodations.
