Maybe your child is clearly bright yet the simplest homework page turns into an hour of tears, or your teen keeps losing the assignment they promised to finish. An ADHD evaluation in Brookfield trades that guessing for real answers, looking closely at attention, focus, and follow through. No referral is needed to begin, and you can reach Core Spring Diagnostics directly
Every ADHD evaluation here starts from a baseline of cognitive and executive function, the foundation that shows how a mind takes in, holds, and organizes information. From there we add the ADHD specific measures your situation calls for, and one licensed psychologist stays with you the whole way, from the first conversation to the final feedback session. We also screen for the things that so often travel alongside attention struggles or imitate them, including anxiety, learning differences, and mood, so the answer you leave with is the accurate one.
You might notice your child cannot stay with a task even when they want to, drifts off mid instruction, and forgets the second half of what you asked. Expect constant motion, blurted answers, interruptions, misplaced folders, and a homework routine that feels like a nightly negotiation nobody wins.
For a teen it can look like potential that never quite lands on the page. Deadlines slide, planners go unused, and careless errors pile up on tests they clearly understood. Time seems to bend around them, and the report card rarely reflects what you know they can do.
As an adult you may run late no matter how early you start, stall on anything that is not on fire, and lose the thread of long tasks halfway through. Impulsive decisions, a restless mind, and the exhaustion of working twice as hard just to keep up are all part of the picture.
We begin with a relaxed clinical interview lasting close to an hour, in which your psychologist maps the full narrative, from the toddler years through the pressures of right now. The particular struggles and strengths that emerge here point directly to which attention focused measures will earn their keep for you or your child.
Your psychologist then builds a testing set shaped by that interview. Face to face testing commonly fills 2 to 6 hours across one or two visits. A packet of forms comes home with you as well, and the adults woven into daily life, parents, teachers, a partner, can submit their own view of focus and follow through.
Your psychologist folds the scores, the notes from the testing room, and every form into one careful report. Should another thread appear, perhaps worry or a dip in mood, it is written straight into the document rather than glossed over, so nothing important slips past unseen.
About two to three weeks later you return to talk through the results. Your psychologist walks you through the findings in ordinary language and pairs them with recommendations fitted to your life: usable tactics for home, school, or work, options for therapy or coaching, medication direction when relevant, and well defined next steps.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out on your own, for any reason, and schedule directly with us.
Not at all. A real evaluation includes a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for conditions that can mimic attention problems. What you get back is a genuine picture, not a yes or no form.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults. Plenty of adults come to us after years of quiet compensating, usually once the demands of work or family finally outrun the workarounds they built.
Anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, since each of these frequently accompanies or resembles ADHD and can change what genuinely helps.
