Math should not feel like a wall at every step. Maybe your child still counts on fingers long after their classmates stopped, dreads math homework, or freezes the moment numbers appear. We provide comprehensive testing for Dyscalculia in children, teens, and adults. Dyscalculia can affect an individual’s ability to understand numbers, perform calculations, and apply mathematical concepts in everyday life. You can reach out directly, with no referral needed.
One licensed psychologist guides your evaluation from the first conversation through the feedback session, and for the math specific testing an in house learning disability specialist works alongside them. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and we screen for the conditions that often travel with dyscalculia.
Difficulty understanding what numbers represent, trouble learning basic math facts, confusion with place value, counting on fingers well past the early grades, and real anxiety around math homework even when other subjects come easily.
Struggles with algebra, word problems, estimating time or money, and organizing multi step calculations. Many feel capable everywhere except math, and the gap keeps widening no matter how hard they work.
Avoiding budgeting and financial tasks, miscalculating tips or change, leaning on a calculator for the basics, and a long standing embarrassment about math that often surfaces at work or when helping their own kids with homework.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a detailed history of math development and academic performance, from early number sense through current challenges. This conversation helps determine which assessments will most effectively identify the source of math-related difficulties.
Your psychologist coordinates a personalized testing battery that combines cognitive and executive function assessments with targeted math and numerical processing evaluations conducted by an in-house learning disability specialist. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. This combined approach evaluates both underlying cognitive patterns and specific math skill breakdowns. Questionnaires are also sent to you and to teachers or others involved in your learning environment.
All testing data from both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report covering cognitive abilities, numerical processing, math fluency, problem-solving, and any co-occurring conditions (such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety around math).
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the diagnosis and provides individualized recommendations: math intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive tools, and next steps tailored to your specific learning profile.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out directly, for any reason, and we coordinate with your school or provider only if you want us to.
Math learning disorders call for specialized testing. The psychologist handles the cognitive and executive function baseline and the broader clinical picture, while an in house learning disability specialist conducts the math specific testing. Both clinicians attend the feedback session so the findings come together accurately.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects number sense, math facts, and calculation. It is not about effort or intelligence. A formal evaluation distinguishes dyscalculia from math anxiety or gaps in instruction and pinpoints where the breakdown happens.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults. Many adults seek testing after struggling in math heavy courses or careers, or while supporting their own children. The evaluation is adapted to your stage of life.
Depending on the findings, common recommendations include extended time on math based tests, calculator use, formula sheets, and alternative assessment formats. The report documents specifics that schools, universities, and employers can act on.
