Maybe your child understands the assignment perfectly and still stares at a blank page, unable to take the first step. Maybe you are the capable adult whose to do list keeps growing while deadlines slip past. An Executive Function Evaluation in New Berlin, WI looks at why starting, organizing, and finishing break down. No referral is needed to begin.
Each evaluation opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then narrows to the specific concern that brought you in. One licensed psychologist carries your case the whole way through, from the first conversation to the final recommendations. Because these struggles rarely travel alone, we screen for the conditions that commonly sit underneath them, ADHD and anxiety chief among them.
You may notice a child who cannot hold onto a two step direction, who loses the worksheet they already finished, or who melts down when the plan suddenly shifts. Homework stretches for hours, and getting started feels like the hardest part of the whole night.
A teen might procrastinate until the last possible minute, then miss the deadline anyway. Backpacks and digital folders sit in disarray, grades fall short of clear ability, and juggling several classes at once seems to slip out of reach no matter how many reminders get set.
For adults, it often looks like chronic disorganization, trouble deciding what matters first, and forgotten appointments. You start plenty and finish little, carrying the tiring sense that you work twice as hard as everyone else just to keep ordinary life from unraveling.
We start with about an hour of conversation, where your psychologist gathers the full background, developmental and academic history through to the concerns of today. That discussion sharpens the purpose of testing and points to which assessments will tell us the most.
Your psychologist assembles a battery suited to your questions. In person testing typically runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days, and depending on what surfaces, we may add measures of processing speed, memory, or attention. Take home questionnaires round out the context.
Scores, clinical observations, and questionnaire results come together in a detailed report covering strengths, processing patterns, and any areas of concern. If something like ADHD, anxiety, or a learning difference emerges along the way, we document that too.
Typically two to three weeks later, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through everything in plain terms and hands you individualized recommendations: structures, accommodations where they fit, and next steps built around your goals.
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 other providers only if that is something you want.
They overlap a great deal. Executive function sits at the center of ADHD, so the evaluation examines attention, planning, working memory, and self regulation closely, and it screens for ADHD along with the anxiety and learning differences that can mimic it.
It looks at the core skills behind planning, starting, organizing, remembering, and following through, set on a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then ties those findings back to what you notice in everyday life.
Yes. We see children, teens, and adults. Plenty of adults reach out after years of quiet workarounds, usually once the demands of work or family finally outpace the systems that used to hold everything together.
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 down first, so you can start the conversation whenever you are ready.
A clear, readable report and a feedback session full of practical, individualized recommendations: tools, structures, accommodations where appropriate, and concrete next steps that fit how your mind actually works.
