Perhaps your teen is buried under missed assignments even though the material clicks, or perhaps you have carried a lifelong hunch that your restless mind has a name. ADHD Evaluations in Hartford, WI give children, teens, and adults a thorough, honest look at what is really going on, and no referral is needed to get started.
We start each ADHD evaluation from a solid baseline of cognitive and executive function, then add the ADHD specific measures that suit the person in front of us. The same licensed psychologist carries the whole thing, so nothing is handed off partway through. And since attention difficulties so often travel with anxiety, mood concerns, or learning differences, or get mistaken for them, we build screening for those right into the process.
A child with ADHD may struggle to hold attention, forget to follow through, and stay in near constant motion. Belongings go missing, interruptions come fast, and getting through homework can feel like the hardest hour of the day for the whole household.
Watch for procrastination that snowballs, a locker and backpack in disarray, and repeated careless mistakes on work they truly grasp. Managing time feels slippery, emotions can spike, and grades tend to undersell how much ability is actually there.
As an adult you might notice a persistent restlessness, real trouble engaging anything that is not urgent, and a pattern of running late despite your best intentions. Tasks go unfinished, and there is that draining feeling of hustling harder than everyone around you just to stay level.
The evaluation opens with roughly a one hour clinical interview in which your psychologist maps your background, from your earliest years to the realities of your life today. Understanding those specific patterns and challenges is how we decide which ADHD assessments will be genuinely useful for you rather than one size fits all.
Guided by the interview, your psychologist chooses a battery focused on your attention and executive function. Plan on 2 to 6 hours of in person testing across one or two days, with questionnaires to complete at home; the people who know you best, parents, teachers, or a partner, can add their own perspective too.
Every piece, the test data, the clinical observations, and the questionnaire results, gets synthesized into a single detailed diagnostic report. Should anything additional emerge during testing, such as depression or another co occurring condition, we fold it into the report so it does not go unaddressed.
Usually two to three weeks after testing you return for feedback, where your diagnosis comes paired with recommendations built around you: workable strategies for home, school, or the workplace, pointers toward therapy or coaching, medication guidance if it fits, and a defined next step.
It is not. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics, and you can reach out to us directly whenever you are ready.
No. A complete evaluation weaves together a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific testing, rating scales, and screening for conditions that resemble ADHD. The outcome is a full picture, not a single page yes or no form.
Yes, adults very much included. We see children, teens, and adults, and many adults come to us after a lifetime of quietly compensating, often once demands finally outrun the systems they cobbled together.
We look at anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, since those often accompany or imitate ADHD and shift what treatment or support will actually work.
A written report in plain language and a feedback session with individualized recommendations, covering school or workplace accommodations and concrete strategies you can begin applying right away.
