Perhaps you dread every math worksheet that comes home, or you have watched your teen work twice as hard in that one class and still fall behind. When numbers are the only thing that will not click, Dyscalculia Testing in Greenfield, WI gives that struggle a name and a plan. You can come to us directly, with no referral required.
From the opening conversation to the feedback session, one licensed psychologist stays with your evaluation the whole way, and an in house learning disability specialist joins them to run the math specific testing. Every evaluation opens with a look at cognitive and executive function as a foundation, then narrows in on the math concerns that brought you here. We see children, teens, and adults, and we always look for the conditions that commonly ride along with dyscalculia.
Young children with dyscalculia often cannot connect a numeral to the quantity it stands for, lose math facts almost as fast as they learn them, and stumble over place value. Fingers stay in play well beyond the early grades, and a math worksheet can trigger genuine dread even in a strong reader.
For teens, algebra and word problems become sticking points, as does judging time or money and holding a multi step calculation together. It is common to feel sharp in everything but math, watching that one gap stretch wider even when the effort never lets up.
Many adults sidestep budgeting altogether, misjudge a tip or their change, and rely on a calculator for arithmetic they feel they should know cold. Underneath is often years of quiet embarrassment about math that flares up at work or at the kitchen table during a child’s homework.
The first hour is a clinical interview where your psychologist builds a full picture of your math history, from earliest number sense to the difficulties you are living with today, and of how school has gone overall. That history steers which assessments will best pinpoint the root of the trouble.
Next comes a testing battery shaped for you, joining cognitive and executive function measures with focused numerical processing work carried out by our in house learning disability specialist. Expect roughly 2 to 6 hours of in person testing over one or two days, plus questionnaires sent to you and to teachers or others involved in your learning.
We combine the psychologist's data and the specialist's math findings into a single detailed report. It lays out cognitive ability, numerical processing, math fluency, and problem solving, and notes any conditions occurring alongside, whether that is ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety centered on math.
About two to three weeks on, you return for the feedback session. Your psychologist explains the diagnosis clearly and hands you individualized recommendations: intervention strategies for math, academic accommodations, assistive tools, and the next steps suited to your particular learning profile.
Not at all. Core Spring Diagnostics never asks for a referral before you can be seen. Contact us directly whenever you like, for whatever reason, and we will only loop in your school or provider if you ask us to.
A math learning disorder deserves testing designed for it. While the psychologist covers the cognitive and executive function baseline and the overall clinical picture, an in house learning disability specialist administers the math specific measures. Both sit in on the feedback session, so the results come together the right way.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects number sense, math facts, and calculation; it is not a matter of trying harder or being less capable. A formal evaluation tells it apart from math anxiety or missed instruction and locates precisely where the difficulty lives.
Absolutely. Our evaluations cover children, teens, and adults. Many adults reach out after a hard stretch in math heavy coursework or a career, or while helping a child of their own, and we tailor the assessment to your point in life.
It varies with the findings, though frequent recommendations include extended time on math tests, permission to use a calculator, formula sheets, and different assessment formats. The report records the details clearly enough for schools, colleges, and employers to act on them.
Give us a call at (414) 387-2100 and we will explain what happens next and set a time that suits you. You do not need a referral in hand first, so reach out as soon as you feel ready.
