Maybe you have been called scattered, forgetful, or lazy for as long as you can remember, and you are finally asking whether there is an actual reason behind it. Or maybe you see the same struggles surfacing in your child. An ADHD evaluation in Fitchburg, WI offers a real explanation, and you are welcome to begin without a referral.
A Fitchburg evaluation starts by establishing how your attention, memory, and executive function operate, then narrows into ADHD specific measures shaped around your particular story. The same licensed psychologist stays involved throughout. And because anxiety, mood, and learning differences so frequently trail alongside ADHD or pose as it, we screen for them with care.
In children, ADHD may appear as difficulty holding attention, near constant movement, interrupting, and a habit of losing things. Working through several instructions at once proves tough, and homework can become a nightly clash, even for a child who is clever and wants to succeed.
For teens, watch for procrastination, blown deadlines, and a chaotic approach to schoolwork. Careless errors slip in, time management is shaky, emotions run high, and the grades on the transcript rarely capture how much ability the teen actually has.
Many adults describe a low hum of restlessness, a pull toward only the urgent, and a pattern of always running behind. Projects stall before the finish, impulses steer decisions, and there is the tiring realization that keeping up seems to demand far more of them than of anyone else.
We begin with a conversation of about an hour, during which your psychologist assembles a detailed history spanning your childhood through the realities of today. This groundwork identifies the ADHD specific assessments best suited to your circumstances.
Drawing on that conversation, your psychologist selects testing tailored to you. Plan on roughly 2 to 6 hours of in person assessment across one or two days, with questionnaires to complete at home. Partners, parents, or teachers may receive their own to add depth on focus and executive function.
Your psychologist consolidates the scores, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into one detailed diagnostic report. If other concerns emerge during testing, such as depression or anxiety, they are folded in so that nothing goes unaddressed.
Around two to three weeks later, you come back for your feedback session. You leave with a diagnosis and recommendations built around you: workable strategies for home, school, or the workplace, therapy or coaching options, medication guidance where appropriate, and a defined path ahead.
No. A referral is never a requirement at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are free to contact us directly, for any reason and at any time.
No. A full evaluation weaves together a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for look alike conditions. What you get is a clear, layered picture, not a simple pass or fail.
Absolutely. We evaluate adults often, and many come to us after years of quietly compensating, usually once life’s demands finally overtake their usual workarounds.
Anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, since these commonly join or resemble ADHD and alter what will actually be helpful.
A report written in everyday language and a feedback session with recommendations tailored to you, including possible accommodations for school or work and concrete strategies.
