Maybe your child is the kid who reads three grades ahead but melts down over a simple assignment, and the mixed signals leave everyone guessing. Maybe you have lived with that same push and pull your whole life. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Franklin, WI makes sense of a profile that does not fit neatly in one box. There is no referral required to begin.
The same licensed psychologist stays with your evaluation from the opening conversation through testing and feedback, so it is never split among people. We start by mapping executive function and how information is processed, then zero in on the concern that brought you here. Anything else that emerges, such as anxiety or an attention difference, gets screened for as part of the same effort.
Advanced in some milestones and behind in others, absorbed in a favorite subject to an unusual degree, or asking questions that outpace their age. You may also see restlessness or frustration at school and a wide gap between what a child can obviously accomplish and what their everyday work reflects.
Ability that clearly outruns the grades, uneven marks with no obvious explanation, or a teen considering acceleration who wants an honest sense of their strengths first. Some just want a sharper picture of themselves before the big academic decisions land.
Wanting to finally understand your own cognitive profile, making sense of a lifelong mix of standout strengths and persistent struggles, or needing documentation of that profile for an academic program or a workplace that requires it.
Your evaluation opens with about an hour of interview, where your psychologist collects the whole background, from early development and school history to the cognitive concerns you carry now. This nails down the purpose of testing, whether giftedness, a baseline, or academic planning, and points to the assessments that will help most.
Your psychologist then builds a personalized battery of intellectual and cognitive assessments. In person testing generally runs 2 to 6 hours over one to two days, folding in executive function, processing speed, or memory measures as the question warrants. Questionnaires head home to widen the context.
The full set of scores, room observations, and questionnaire results comes together in a detailed report on intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns, plus any areas of concern. If another condition, like attention or a learning difference, surfaces during testing, it is documented too.
Usually two to three weeks later you return for feedback. Your psychologist talks through the results plainly and provides recommendations shaped for you: educational planning, strategies that capitalize on strengths, accommodations where fitting, and clear next steps toward your goals.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Reach out to us directly, for any reason, and we will take it from there.
Typical reasons include identifying giftedness, planning academically, understanding strengths that do not match up, backing an accommodation request, or simply seeing clearly how a child or adult thinks and learns.
No. The evaluation weighs intellectual ability along with processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, then explains what the whole profile means in real terms with recommendations to match.
Yes. We work with children, teens, and adults, and many adults come to understand their own profile or to document strengths and needs for school or work.
A report in plain language and a feedback session that turns the findings into educational and practical guidance built around your goals.
