Maybe homework has turned into a nightly standoff, or one subject keeps dragging while everything else clicks. You want to know exactly where the breakdown is and what will actually move it. A Learning Disability Evaluation in New Berlin, WI pinpoints that gap and hands you a plan you can act on. No referral is needed to get started.
Every evaluation opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, and from there an in house learning disability specialist steps in to run the academic testing side by side with your licensed psychologist. Together they look across reading, writing, and math to find where the skill is breaking down. One psychologist carries your case the whole way, and the process always screens for the conditions that tend to travel with learning differences.
You notice a stubborn gap between how hard your child tries and what actually comes back, usually in one subject more than the others. Reading may be slow or inaccurate, writing may be a battle, or math may just not stick. The frustration rarely matches how sharp they are elsewhere.
A teen may keep underperforming in a single subject no matter how much they study, leaning on shortcuts and quietly dodging the assignments that expose the weak spot. The gap widens over the year, and more practice alone stops closing it. Confidence in that area starts to slip.
For adults, it is often a long standing struggle in one academic area that was worked around for years, until college, grad school, or a job finally makes it impossible to hide. Testing turns a vague lifelong hunch into a clear, documented answer you can finally use.
We begin with about an hour of conversation where your psychologist builds a full academic and developmental history, from the earliest school years to whatever is happening now. That history is what tells us where learning is actually breaking down and which specific tests will earn their place in the battery.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized battery that pairs broad cognitive measures with focused academic skill testing, typically 2 to 6 hours of in person work spread over one to two days. Our in house learning disability specialist runs the reading, writing, or math assessments alongside the psychologist's look at cognitive, executive, and adaptive function. Questionnaires also go home to you and to teachers who know the learner well.
Everything the psychologist and the specialist gather is pulled into one detailed report covering cognitive ability, academic achievement, and any processing differences we find. If something like ADHD or anxiety surfaces during testing, it goes in the report too, so the full picture is on the page rather than left for you to discover later.
Roughly two to three weeks after testing, you come back for a feedback session where your psychologist walks you through the findings in plain terms. You leave with individualized recommendations: classroom accommodations, strategies for school or work, tutoring or therapy resources, and clear next steps matched to this specific learning profile.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can contact us directly, for any reason at all, and we will loop in your child’s school only if you ask us to.
Academic learning disorders need testing built for them. Your psychologist owns the cognitive and executive baseline and the broader clinical read, while our in house learning disability specialist handles the subjectspecific academic testing. Both clinicians sit in on the feedback session together.
We assess reading disabilities like dyslexia, writing disabilities like dysgraphia, and math disabilities like dyscalculia, along with the attention and cognitive factors that shape how a person learns.
Yes. We see children, teens, and adults. A lot of adults come in when the demands of a degree program or a job finally outrun the workarounds they have leaned on for years.
Yes. The written report spells out specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and employers can act on, including documentation to support an IEP, a 504 plan, and testing accommodations.
Call us at (414) 387-2100 and we will talk through your concerns and set up a first appointment. There is no referral to chase down and no pressure; reaching out is simply the first step.
