Maybe your son bounces between three tasks and finishes none, and mornings feel like a fight before school even starts. Or maybe you keep missing the details at work that everyone else seems to catch without trying. Our ADHD Evaluations in West Allis, WI are made to find the reason, and getting started requires no referral.
Our ADHD Evaluations in West Allis, WI rest on a cognitive and executive function baseline first, giving us a solid reference point before any ADHD specific testing begins. That specialized testing is then shaped to your particular concerns, and one licensed psychologist carries it out from beginning to end. We also screen for anxiety, learning differences, and mood, because those so regularly overlap with attention difficulties or stand in for them entirely.
In children it commonly looks like near constant motion paired with attention that slips away mid sentence. Getting through homework can be a nightly uphill climb, ordinary chores drag on far too long, and shoes, papers, and toys have a way of disappearing.
For teenagers, the signal is often work that falls short of clear potential. Procrastination rules, deadlines get missed, notebooks and schedules turn disorganized, careless slips show up on familiar material, and emotions run hot when things do not go smoothly.
Adults tend to feel a background restlessness and a hard time focusing on anything without a looming deadline. Running late becomes routine, follow through falters, impulsive decisions creep in, and there is that weary awareness of grinding harder than others just to keep even.
Things begin with a one hour interview in which your psychologist collects a full background, from your earliest years to how life runs today. That conversation surfaces the challenges and history that steer which ADHD specific assessments will be the right fit for you.
With the interview as a guide, your psychologist chooses a personalized set of ADHD-focused assessments, generally two to six hours of in-person testing over one to two days. Questionnaires come home with you too, and the people who know you well, such as parents, teachers, or a partner, can contribute their own read on attention and focus.
Your psychologist merges the testing results, observations, and questionnaire responses into a single thorough diagnostic report. If anything else turns up during the process, like anxiety or depression, those findings are folded in so nothing gets missed.
Around two to three weeks after testing, you come in for the feedback session. You receive your diagnosis together with recommendations tailored to you: workable strategies for home, school, or work, pointers toward therapy or coaching, medication guidance when it applies, and next steps that fit your life.

No, it is far more than that. A complete evaluation blends a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive baseline, focused ADHD measures, rating scales, and screening for the conditions that imitate ADHD, ending in a clear picture instead of a single checkbox.
Yes, we do. Children, teens, and adults are all part of our practice. A good number of adults come in after years of compensating, typically when the demands of life finally exceed the systems they built to cope.
We screen for anxiety, depression, learning differences, and executive function difficulties, because each frequently rides alongside ADHD or looks like it and alters what genuinely helps.
You will have a plain language report and a feedback session that spells out recommendations designed for you, from school or workplace accommodations to practical, everyday strategies.
Just call (414) 387-2100 and we will get you scheduled. You do not need a referral before reaching out.
