You have probably known for a while that something is not adding up, and you are tired of getting one piece of the answer instead of the whole thing. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation at Core Spring brings all of our assessments together into one, so a child, teen, or adult in Menomonee Falls can finally understand what is really going on. We look at the full behavioral and emotional picture, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning.
As our most extensive evaluation, this brings all of our assessments together into one, looking at autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning. One psychologist handles the full process and screens for the concerns that travel together, keeping the picture complete rather than narrow. Care is easy to reach from Menomonee Falls. The process is individualized and boutique, with no rigid timelines or fixed session counts, paced around your specific concerns.
Big feelings that are hard to manage, meltdowns that seem out of proportion, sensory sensitivities, trouble making or keeping friends, delayed speech, or schoolwork that does not match how hard they try.
Worn out by being around people, anxiety that shows up in unexpected places, shutting down or acting out, slipping grades, missing social cues, or sensory overwhelm at school. It can look like motivation, but you sense it is something more.
Years of working twice as hard just to keep up, a constant sense of masking, moods that swing further than they should, relationships that feel harder than they look for everyone else, or anxiety and low spells that never fully responded to treatment.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a complete history, from developmental milestones and childhood experiences through your current cognitive, emotional, and daily functioning. This broad conversation is essential because a neuropsychological evaluation looks at the full picture, and your psychologist uses this information to build a customized testing plan.
Your psychologist selects a comprehensive battery spanning cognitive function, executive function, memory, attention, emotional functioning, and adaptive skills. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. For concerns that include learning differences, an in-house learning disability specialist provides additional targeted assessments. You are also sent home with questionnaires, and individuals closely involved in your life can complete their own to provide additional clinical context.
All testing data from every domain (cognitive, emotional, academic, adaptive) are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report. This is the most thorough evaluation Core Spring offers, designed to identify the full range of conditions that may be present, whether that is ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, or a combination.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through every finding and provides individualized recommendations across all identified areas: therapy options, academic or workplace accommodations, lifestyle strategies, and a clear roadmap for next steps.
Yes. Academic testing is a core part of the evaluation when reading or math is a concern. Alongside testing of processing speed, phonological awareness, working memory, and language, it can show whether a reading or math difficulty reflects dyslexia, a math learning difference, or another pattern. The recommendations include specific supports and accommodations tied to what we find.
Anxiety can have a real effect on test performance, especially on tasks that lean on focus and holding information in mind. The evaluation accounts for this by gathering observations throughout testing, using anxiety measures, and reading results in the context of your full picture. The goal is to tell whether the difficulty reflects anxiety, a separate issue, or both.
The clinical interview is designed to understand the individual’s background, lived experience, and context. The psychologist takes cultural and linguistic factors into account when selecting instruments, interpreting results, and developing recommendations. The goal is a clinical picture that reflects the actual individual, not a profile filtered through assumptions that do not fit their background.
Yes. Adults and children who have been previously diagnosed with autism but now have emerging questions about ADHD, learning differences, cognitive functioning, or mood often benefit from a comprehensive evaluation that addresses the full picture. The prior diagnosis is reviewed as part of the intake, and the evaluation is structured to answer the new questions while building on what is already known.
Every evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics is conducted by a licensed psychologist with specific training in neuropsychological assessment. One psychologist owns the entire process: clinical interview, test administration, scoring, report writing, and feedback session. This is not a practice where testing is delegated to technicians or other non-licensed staff.
