Most families do not arrive with a tidy checklist. They arrive with a specific worry about focus, behavior, or follow-through. Core Spring's Menomonee Falls ADHD evaluations are built to answer the question you are actually asking, for children, teens, and adults, with one psychologist guiding every step. No referral needed to reach out.
Every evaluation starts with a foundational baseline, then layers in attention-specific measures around inattention, impulsivity or internal restlessness, disorganization, and inconsistent performance. We trace developmental history to see how the patterns have changed over time, and we screen for common overlaps like anxiety and learning differences. The process is boutique and individualized. A clinical interview gathers background, testing pacing is built around the person, and we screen for common overlaps like anxiety, learning differences, and mood concerns so the picture stays full.
Parents call about kids who can’t sit still, lose focus mid-task, struggle with multi-step instructions, forget assignments, blurt out answers, and underperform in school despite obvious ability.
Teens often present with chronic procrastination, missing assignments, emotional impulsivity, forgetfulness, disorganized study habits, and a real struggle to handle growing academic load.
Adults often describe missed deadlines, chronic disorganization, forgetfulness, restlessness, impulsive decisions, difficulty staying focused in meetings, and years of underperforming compared to what they know they’re capable of.
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.
Yes. ADHD and autism frequently co-occur. Core Spring Diagnostics screens for both during every evaluation, using distinct tools for each condition. If both are present, the report documents both diagnoses and provides recommendations that address how they interact in daily functioning.
Children with ADHD may struggle with turn-taking, impulse control in social situations, reading social cues, and maintaining friendships. These patterns can be misinterpreted as intentional misbehavior. An evaluation identifies the underlying attention and executive function patterns driving these social difficulties.
Teacher rating scales and observations provide critical data about how attention, hyperactivity, and executive function patterns present in the classroom. Core Spring Diagnostics collects input from teachers and other relevant observers to ensure the evaluation captures behavior across settings, not just in the clinical office.
The psychologist evaluates the specific pattern of symptoms across inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity using standardized measures, clinical interviewing, and behavior rating scales. The combination of findings determines whether the presentation is predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined.
Yes. Some individuals seek re-evaluation after an initial diagnosis that feels incomplete or was based on a brief screening. Core Spring Diagnostics conducts a comprehensive assessment that can confirm, revise, or expand on earlier findings with updated cognitive, executive function, and ADHD-specific data.
Home-based recommendations may include establishing consistent routines, using visual schedules and timers, breaking tasks into manageable steps, creating structured homework environments, and working with the individual on self-monitoring skills. Recommendations are tailored to the individual’s age and specific patterns.
