Maybe your bright kid stalls the second homework lands on the table, or maybe you are the grown-up who has spent decades being called flaky and are finally ready to ask why. Our ADHD Evaluations in Fox Point, WI look at the whole picture for children, teens, and adults, and you never need a referral to start.
Every ADHD evaluation here opens on a baseline of cognitive and executive function, the foundation we build the rest of the assessment on top of. From there we layer in ADHD specific measures chosen for your situation, and one licensed psychologist stays with you from the first conversation to the last. Because anxiety, mood, and learning differences so often trail alongside attention struggles or masquerade as them, we screen for those too.
You may see a smart child who cannot get started, drifts off mid task, and fidgets like the chair is on fire. Small things vanish constantly, they blurt over other people, and homework turns into a nightly standoff that leaves everyone frayed.
Deadlines slip, backpacks and folders become chaos, and careless errors keep dragging down work they clearly understand. Time seems to bend around them, feelings run hot, and the report card rarely matches how capable you know they are.
You might feel a low hum of restlessness, an impossible time getting to anything that is not on fire, and a habit of running late no matter how early you meant to leave. Follow through slips, and you are quietly worn out from working twice as hard to look half as together.
We begin with about an hour of conversation, where your psychologist gathers the full arc of your background from early childhood right through the pressures of your current daily life. That history is what tells us which ADHD specific tools will actually fit your situation, so the testing that follows is aimed rather than generic.
With that context in hand, your psychologist assembles a battery built around your attention profile. Expect roughly 2 to 6 hours of in person testing spread over one or two days, plus take home questionnaires; parents, teachers, or a partner can complete their own so we see focus and executive function from more than one angle.
Your psychologist pulls the testing data, clinical observations, and every questionnaire together into one detailed diagnostic report. If something else shows up along the way, such as anxiety or depression, it goes in the report too, so nothing important slips through the cracks.
Typically two to three weeks later you come back for a feedback session, where you receive your diagnosis and a set of recommendations shaped to you: practical strategies for home, school, or work, therapy or coaching options, medication guidance where it applies, and a clear sense of the next step.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason and at any point.
Not at all. A full evaluation combines a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for look alike conditions. What you get back is a real, textured picture rather than a single yes or no.
Adults absolutely can. We assess children, teens, and adults alike, and plenty of adults come in after years of quiet compensating, usually once life’s demands finally outgrow the workarounds they built.
Anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties. These frequently ride along with attention problems or imitate them, and spotting them changes what will genuinely help.
A clear written report in everyday language and a feedback session with recommendations tailored to you, from school or workplace accommodations to practical day to day strategies you can start using.
Give us a call at (414) 387-2100 and we will walk you through availability and next steps. There is no referral to chase down first.
