When something feels off and no one has been able to tell you why, guessing is exhausting. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation at Core Spring brings every one of our assessments together into one, so a child, teen, or adult in Milwaukee can finally understand what is really going on. We look at the full behavioral and emotional picture, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning, and give you a clear, individualized path forward.
This evaluation looks at everything together: autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning, and how they overlap and feed into each other. Most people who come to us are not missing one simple answer, they are carrying a few things at once that no one has ever connected. One psychologist guides the whole process from start to finish, beginning with a conversation, then testing built around your specific concerns, with a foundational baseline that grounds the rest. We screen for the concerns that travel together so nothing gets missed, then deliver a detailed report and a feedback session covering results, a diagnosis if one applies, and recommendations made for you.
Strong needs for routine, sensory sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, delayed speech, picky eating, learning struggles that don’t match effort, attention concerns, or big reactions to small changes.
Academic struggles, social difficulty, rigid routines, sensory overwhelm at school, anxiety or mood changes, shutting down or acting out, or highly focused interests that don’t translate to daily demands.
Years of working around something you could never quite name, including masking, attention struggles, sensory sensitivities, relationships that feel harder than they should, or anxiety and low spells that never fully responded to treatment.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a complete history, from developmental milestones and childhood experiences through your current cognitive, emotional, and daily functioning. This broad conversation is essential because a neuropsychological evaluation looks at the full picture, and your psychologist uses this information to build a customized testing plan.
Your psychologist selects a comprehensive battery spanning cognitive function, executive function, memory, attention, emotional functioning, and adaptive skills. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. For concerns that include learning differences, an in-house learning disability specialist provides additional targeted assessments. You are also sent home with questionnaires, and individuals closely involved in your life can complete their own to provide additional clinical context.
All testing data from every domain (cognitive, emotional, academic, adaptive) are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report. This is the most thorough evaluation Core Spring offers, designed to identify the full range of conditions that may be present, whether that is ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, or a combination.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through every finding and provides individualized recommendations across all identified areas: therapy options, academic or workplace accommodations, lifestyle strategies, and a clear roadmap for next steps.
It is the most thorough evaluation we offer, and it brings all of our assessments together into one. Instead of answering a single question, it looks at autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning side by side, along with attention and how emotional factors shape daily life, all in one coordinated process with one psychologist from start to finish. You get the full picture, not a piece of it.
It is the right choice when there is more than one concern, or when one concern raises questions about everything else. Common reasons include unexplained struggles at school or work, questions about autism alongside attention or anxiety, mood concerns tangled up with focus, and situations where earlier evaluations left important questions open. One psychologist reviews the whole picture and tailors the testing to the person.
Yes. Screening for the conditions that commonly travel together is built in by design, not offered as an add-on. Every evaluation includes screening for autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other co-occurring concerns alongside the foundational testing, so the report reflects the full picture.
It spans a few appointments, typically an intake and conversation, one or more testing sessions, and a feedback appointment. The total depends on age, how much is going on, and how the evaluation unfolds. We do not use rigid, standardized session counts, the pace is set by what the evaluation needs.
It is a dedicated appointment with the psychologist who did the evaluation. Every finding and every recommendation is reviewed with you and, where it helps, your family. Your psychologist explains what each result means in plain terms and walks through the recommendations, and your questions are welcome throughout.
