Maybe your child still counts on fingers long after the other kids stopped, or maybe you have spent years quietly dreading anything with numbers in it. Dyscalculia Testing in New Berlin, WI gives that struggle a name and a clear path forward. No referral is needed to get started.
Every evaluation opens from a baseline of cognitive and executive function, because how someone holds, sequences, and works with information shapes how math lands for them. From that foundation we tailor the testing to your specific concern, whether that is basic math facts, algebra, or everyday money sense. One licensed psychologist guides you from the first conversation through the final feedback session, and for the math specific portion an in house learning disability specialist works right alongside them. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and we screen for the conditions that so often travel with dyscalculia
You may notice your child struggles to grasp what a number stands for, leans on finger counting well past the early grades, or mixes up place value in surprising ways. Basic facts other kids memorize just will not stick, and math homework brings a dread that never shows up with reading or art.
Maybe your teen hits a wall at algebra, word problems, or anything that stacks several steps together, and estimating time or money feels like guesswork. They often feel capable in every class but this one, and no amount of extra effort closes the widening gap.
You might put off budgeting, second guess a tip or the change you are owed, or reach for a calculator even on simple arithmetic. For many adults a quiet embarrassment about math has followed them for years, resurfacing at work or when a child asks for homework help.
We begin with about an hour of conversation, where your psychologist builds a detailed history of how math developed and how school has gone, from early counting through the challenges you are facing right now. What surfaces here decides which assessments will most precisely locate the root of the difficulty.
Your psychologist assembles a battery built around your concern, pairing cognitive and executive function measures with focused math and numerical processing tasks that our in house learning disability specialist administers. Testing typically runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days, so we see both the underlying patterns and the specific skill breakdowns. Questionnaires also go to you and to teachers or others in the learning setting.
Everything gathered by both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist is drawn together into one detailed report covering cognitive ability, numerical processing, math fluency, problem solving, and any co occurring conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety tied to math.
Typically two to three weeks later you come back for a feedback session, where your psychologist walks you through the findings in plain terms and lays out individualized recommendations: intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive tools, and next steps mapped to your learning profile.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason at all, and we will coordinate with your school or another provider only if that is something you want.
Math learning disorders call for testing that goes deeper than a general assessment. Your psychologist handles the cognitive and executive baseline and the broader clinical picture, while our in house learning disability specialist runs the math specific measures. Both clinicians sit in on the feedback session so the results are read together and accurately.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability affecting number sense, math facts, and calculation, and it has nothing to do with effort or intelligence. A formal evaluation separates dyscalculia from math anxiety or simple gaps in teaching and shows exactly where the breakdown occurs.
Yes. We work with children, teens, and adults alike. Plenty of adults come to us after hitting trouble in math heavy classes or jobs, or while trying to help their own kids, and the evaluation is shaped around your stage of life.
Depending on what we find, recommendations often include extended time on math based tests, calculator access, formula sheets, and alternative assessment formats. The report spells out specifics that schools, universities, and employers can act on directly.
Just call us at (414) 387-2100 and we will talk through your concerns and find a time that works. There is no referral to chase and no gatekeeping; a single conversation gets the process moving.
