Maybe the notes home from your daughter's teacher keep circling the same word: distracted. Maybe you are the parent of a teen whose grades never seem to match how smart you know they are. Our ADHD Evaluations in Oshkosh, WI dig into the reasons behind the pattern, for kids, teenagers, and adults alike. You do not need a referral to get started.
We start every ADHD evaluation from a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then layer on measures built specifically to assess attention and impulse control. The same licensed psychologist carries the process from the first interview through the final feedback session, with no one else stepping in midway. And since conditions like anxiety, mood difficulties, and learning differences can mirror ADHD, we screen for those too before drawing any conclusions.
Younger children may struggle to hold their focus, lose the thread of a twos tep instruction, or squirm through anything that asks them to sit still. Watch for interrupting, misplaced jackets and worksheets, and homework sessions that end in frustration for everyone. Capable kids often mask this until demands climb.
For teenagers, the tells are usually chronic procrastination, a chaotic sense of organization, and small careless slips that pull grades down. Deadlines sneak up on them, emotions can spike quickly, and their transcript rarely reflects their real capability. What looks like not caring is often an executive function gap.
Grown adults often name a restless engine that never idles, a wall in front of any non urgent task, and a habit of running late no matter the intention. Impulsive choices, unfinished projects, and the fatigue of overcompensating just to appear on top of things tend to show up together.
Your evaluation opens with a clinical interview that lasts about an hour. Your psychologist listens to the full arc of your background, from your earliest years to what daily life asks of you now, and uses that story to decide which ADHD assessments will fit your situation best.
Guided by that interview, your psychologist assembles a testing plan matched to your concerns. Expect roughly 2 to 6 hours of in person testing spread over one to two days. Questionnaires go home with you, and people close to you, whether teachers, parents, or a partner, can add their own observations.
Your psychologist merges the test results, clinical notes, and rating scales into a single, detailed diagnostic report. Should anything else emerge during testing, such as signs of depression or anxiety, those are folded in as well, so no meaningful finding slips past unnoticed.
Around two to three weeks after testing wraps up, you return for feedback. This session delivers your results together with recommendations made for you: practical approaches for home, school, or work, options for therapy or coaching, medication considerations where relevant, and the next steps that make sense for your goals.
You do not. Core Spring Diagnostics never requires a referral. You can get in touch with us on your own, whenever you feel ready and for whatever reason brought you here.
No. A real evaluation weaves together a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, ADHD specific testing, rating scales, and screening for conditions that resemble ADHD, producing a full picture instead of a simple pass or fail form.
Yes, absolutely. We assess children, teens, and adults, and a good number of the adults we see arrive after years of quiet compensating, usually once life’s demands finally outgrow their coping strategies.
Our screening reaches into anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function struggles, because they so often overlap with or imitate ADHD, and identifying them reshapes what support will truly work.
You leave holding a plain-language report and a feedback session that lays out individualized recommendations, including accommodations for school or work and everyday strategies tailored to you.
