Maybe your daughter can lose an afternoon to one worksheet and still not finish it, while you wonder why nothing seems to stick. Maybe you are the adult who has been called scattered for as long as you can remember and want a real explanation. Our ADHD Evaluations in Franklin, WI provide that answer, and no referral is required to begin.
Every one of our ADHD Evaluations in Franklin, WI is anchored to a cognitive and executive function baseline, measured before we ever move into ADHD specific testing. That baseline lets us tailor the rest of the assessment to your actual concerns, all under the care of a single licensed psychologist. Because anxiety, mood, and learning differences so often blur the picture, we build a screen for each of them into the process rather than treating attention in isolation.
For children it frequently appears as fidgeting that never quite stops and focus that fades before an instruction ends. Homework can devolve into a nightly battle, simple tasks take far longer than expected, and important items keep going missing around the house.
In teens, look for a persistent gap between what they can do and what their grades reflect. Deadlines slip by, organization falls apart, avoidable mistakes appear on material they clearly grasp, and feelings can surge with surprising intensity over minor frustrations.
Adults often report an underlying restlessness and difficulty engaging tasks that are not urgent. Chronic lateness sets in, follow through breaks down, impulsive moves happen, and beneath it all runs the draining sense of working harder than everyone else just to stay afloat.
The evaluation gets underway with an hour long clinical interview in which your psychologist builds a full background, reaching from childhood through the rhythms of your current life. This exchange highlights the patterns and history that shape which ADHD specific assessments will be most useful for you.
Drawing on the interview, your psychologist puts together a personalized battery of ADHD focused assessments, usually two to six hours of in person testing across one or two days. You also take home questionnaires, and those closely involved in your life, whether parents, teachers, or a partner, can complete their own to broaden the view of your attention and focus.
