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 Racine can finally understand what is really going on. We look at the full behavioral and emotional picture and how it shows up in real, everyday life.
Each evaluation gives an in-depth understanding of how someone is functioning across autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood, behavior, and learning, and how those things overlap. Screening for the concerns that travel together is standard, so the picture is always full rather than narrow. From the first conversation through testing and the feedback session, one psychologist owns the entire process, with no handoffs to other providers.
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.
A comprehensive evaluation produces one unified picture that a series of separate assessments cannot match. When one psychologist looks at autism, ADHD, anxiety, mood, learning, attention, and more in a single coordinated process, the connections between findings become visible. You see not just what each area shows, but how they interact, which leads to more precise answers and more targeted recommendations.
Yes. We regularly work with people whose earlier evaluations left questions open or produced conflicting results. A comprehensive evaluation provides a fresh, thorough baseline using gold-standard tools across all the relevant areas. Prior reports are reviewed as part of intake and can inform how the testing is structured.
Executive function is the set of skills that govern planning, organization, flexibility, holding information in mind, and self-regulation. These skills touch nearly every part of daily life, from school and work to relationships and managing emotions. Because difficulties here sit underneath many of the conditions we assess, including ADHD, autism, and mood concerns, establishing a baseline is central to an accurate, useful evaluation.
Yes. Schools use these reports to develop and update IEPs and 504 plans. The report includes diagnostic conclusions and specific recommendations for support, such as extended time, preferential seating, reduced-distraction settings, and other accommodations tailored to the child. It is written to meet the documentation standards schools and districts typically require.
Yes. Complex presentations with several co-occurring concerns are exactly where a comprehensive evaluation is most valuable. Instead of addressing one diagnosis at a time through separate providers, the evaluation captures the full landscape in one process, shows how the conditions interact, and makes sure the recommendations account for the complete picture.
