ADHD does not just live in a classroom or a cubicle. It shapes follow-through, time, and the everyday flow of home life. Core Spring's Cedarburg evaluations are built to make sense of all of it, for children, teens, and adults, with one psychologist owning the process. Reach out directly, no referral needed.
Every evaluation starts with a foundational baseline, then layers in ADHD-specific measures around inattention, impulsivity or internal restlessness, disorganization, and inconsistent performance, with developmental history in view. We screen for common companions like anxiety, mood, sleep, and learning differences, and one psychologist owns the process from interview through feedback, paced case by case.
ADHD in children often shows up as trouble sitting still, drifting attention in class, missed steps midway through a task, blurting, losing homework, and bright potential the grades never quite reflect.
Teen signs often look like chronic procrastination, half-finished assignments, emotional swings, forgotten deadlines, inconsistent study habits, and underperformance that does not match the effort going in.
ADHD in adults may show up as missed deadlines, chronic disorganization, restlessness, impulsive decision making, drifting focus during meetings, executive function struggles, or a lifelong pattern of underperforming relative to your real potential.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a thorough background, from childhood through your day-to-day life today. This conversation helps identify the specific patterns, challenges, and history that inform which ADHD-specific assessments will be most effective for your situation.
Based on your clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of ADHD-focused assessments. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. You will also be sent home with questionnaires, and individuals closely involved in your life (parents, teachers, or partners) can receive their own questionnaires to provide additional perspective on attention, focus, and executive function patterns.
Your psychologist compiles all testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results into a detailed diagnostic report. If anything else surfaces during the evaluation (such as anxiety, depression, or other co-occurring conditions), those findings are included so nothing gets overlooked.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. This is where you receive your diagnosis along with individualized recommendations: practical strategies for home, school, or work, resources for therapy or coaching, medication guidance if applicable, and next steps tailored to your specific needs.
ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety, depression, learning differences, and autism. Core Spring Diagnostics screens for these as a standard part of every ADHD evaluation. Identifying co-occurring conditions ensures that the recommendations reflect the full clinical picture rather than addressing one concern in isolation.
Yes. While continuous performance tests can be one tool in the process, Core Spring Diagnostics relies on a broader assessment approach that includes clinical interviewing, cognitive and executive function testing, behavior rating scales, and ADHD-specific measures. This multi-method approach produces more reliable and individualized results.
ADHD can affect relationships, time management, household responsibilities, financial decisions, sleep, and self-esteem. The evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics assesses how attention, impulsivity, and executive function patterns affect functioning across all areas of daily life, not just academic or professional performance.
Having one psychologist handle the interview, testing, scoring, and feedback ensures clinical consistency. The person interpreting the results has firsthand knowledge of the individual’s presentation, history, and behavior during testing. This eliminates the fragmentation that comes from being passed between multiple providers.
The written report includes diagnostic conclusions and specific recommendations that schools use to develop or update IEPs and 504 plans. Recommendations may include extended time, organizational supports, preferential seating, reduced-distraction testing environments, and strategies for executive function development.
Yes. If the evaluation uncovers concerns beyond ADHD, such as learning differences, memory issues, or emotional functioning, Core Spring Diagnostics can expand the assessment into a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. One psychologist manages the entire process regardless of scope.
