Maybe your fourth grader is sharp in conversation but falls apart the moment homework lands on the table. Maybe you are the adult who has quietly run on last minute panic for decades and is finally wondering why. Our ADHD Evaluations in New Berlin, WI look closely at what is actually driving the struggle, for children, teens, and adults. You can start without any referral.
Each ADHD evaluation opens with a baseline measure of cognitive and executive function, then folds in ADHD specific tools chosen for the person in front of us. One licensed psychologist stays with you through intake, testing, the report, and the feedback conversation, so nothing gets handed off. Because anxiety, mood, and learning differences can wear the same face as ADHD, we screen for them as part of the picture.
A child with ADHD may listen closely one minute and drift the next, forget instructions halfway through, or turn simple homework into a nightly standoff. You might see constant motion, blurted answers, and belongings that vanish. Bright kids can carry this quietly until the schoolwork grows heavier.
In teens it often shows up as missed deadlines, a backpack that swallows assignments, and careless errors that do not match their ability. Time slips away from them, feelings run big, and report cards understate what they actually know. The gap between potential and output widens.
Adults describe a low hum of restlessness, real trouble starting anything that is not on fire, chronic lateness, and impulsive decisions they later regret. Follow through feels slippery, and there is that draining sense of working twice as hard just to stay level with everyone around them.
We begin with an unhurried, roughly one hour clinical interview. Your psychologist gathers your story from early childhood through the demands of your current daily life, listening for the specific patterns and history that will shape which ADHD measures make the most sense for you.
From that conversation, your psychologist builds a testing battery tuned to your concerns. In person testing usually runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days. You also take home questionnaires, and parents, teachers, or a partner can complete their own to add outside perspective on focus and executive function.
Typically two to three weeks later, you come back for the feedback session. Here you receive the findings alongside individualized recommendations: strategies for home, school, or work, referrals for therapy or coaching, guidance on medication if it applies, and clear next steps built around you.
Typically two to three weeks later you come back for the feedback session. Your psychologist talks through the findings in plain terms and lays out individualized recommendations, including strategies for home and school, therapy resources, and guidance on accommodations tailored to the specific needs in front of us.
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 complete evaluation combines a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific measures, rating scales, and screening for look alike conditions, so you leave with a genuine picture rather than a single yes-or-no answer.
Adults are very welcome. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and many adults come to us once the workarounds they leaned on for years stop keeping up with the demands on them.
We screen for anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function challenges, since these frequently travel with ADHD or mimic it, and knowing which is present changes what will genuinely help.
You receive a plain-language report and a feedback session covering individualized recommendations, from school or workplace accommodations to everyday strategies you can start using right away.
