Maybe the teacher keeps saying your child could do the work if he would just focus, and you are tired of hearing it. Maybe you are the one whose to do list never gets shorter no matter how early you start. Our ADHD Evaluations in Elkhorn, WI look at what is actually going on, and you never need a referral to begin.
Each of our ADHD Evaluations in Elkhorn, WI opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, so we are measuring attention against a real foundation rather than a hunch. From there we layer in the specific ADHD measures your situation calls for, and the same licensed psychologist stays with you through every step. Because anxiety, mood struggles, and learning differences so often wear the same face as ADHD, we screen for those too.
In younger children it often shows up as a body that will not settle and a mind that drifts mid instruction. Homework can turn into a nightly standoff, small tasks stretch out endlessly, and belongings vanish on the way from one room to the next.
For teens the gap between ability and report card is the tell. Deadlines slip past, backpacks and lockers become chaos, careless errors pile up on tests they clearly understood, and frustration boils over faster than the situation seems to warrant.
Adults describe a low hum of restlessness and a struggle to lock onto anything that is not urgent. Lateness becomes a pattern, plans stay half finished, and there is that quiet exhaustion of pushing twice as hard just to stay level with everyone else.
We start with an hour long conversation in which your psychologist traces your story from early childhood to the demands of an ordinary day now. The picture that emerges points to which ADHD specific tools will actually fit your situation, rather than a one size battery.
Guided by that interview, your psychologist assembles a testing plan built around your concerns. Expect roughly two to six hours of in person work spread across one or two days, plus take home questionnaires; parents, teachers, or a partner may complete their own so we see attention and focus from more than one angle.
Every score, observation, and rating scale is drawn together into one detailed diagnostic report. If something like anxiety or low mood surfaces along the way, it goes in the report as well, so nothing important slips through unnoticed.
About two to three weeks later you come back for the feedback session. Here you receive the findings and a set of recommendations shaped to you: practical routines for home, school, or work, referrals for therapy or coaching, guidance on medication where it fits, and the next steps that make sense.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason at all.
Not at all. A full evaluation combines a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive baseline, targeted ADHD measures, rating scales, and screening for the conditions that imitate ADHD. What you get back is a clear picture, not a single yes or no answer.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults alike. Plenty of adults come to us after years of quiet workarounds, usually once life finally asks more than those workarounds can cover.
We check for anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function struggles, since each of these often travels with ADHD or mirrors it and shifts what will genuinely help.
A report written in plain language and a feedback session that lays out recommendations made for you, from classroom or workplace accommodations to everyday strategies you can start using.
Call us at (414) 387-2100 and we will help you find a time. There is no referral to chase down first.
