Perhaps written homework ends in tears most nights, or as an adult you have always felt that your writing hides more than it shows. Dysgraphia Testing in Grafton, WI investigates why written expression is so demanding and whether a writing disability sits underneath it. Getting started requires no referral.
From the first conversation through the feedback session, one licensed psychologist stays with you, and the writing specific testing is carried out by an in house learning disability specialist working alongside them. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, grounding every evaluation in a baseline of cognitive and executive function before tailoring it to the writing concern you bring, and we screen throughout for the conditions that commonly travel with dysgraphia.
Things begin with roughly an hour of interview during which your psychologist assembles a detailed history of writing and fine motor development, tracing it from early handwriting to today's challenges with written expression. What we learn steers us toward the assessments that will most precisely identify the difficulty.
All of the data from the psychologist and the learning disability specialist is brought together into a single detailed diagnostic report spanning cognitive abilities, fine motor skills, written expression, spelling, and any cooccurring conditions such as ADHD or other learning differences.
All findings from the psychologist and the learning disability specialist are integrated into one detailed diagnostic report covering cognitive ability, phonological processing, reading fluency, and comprehension, plus any co occurring conditions the evaluation identified, such as ADHD or another learning difference.
Approximately two to three weeks later you return for a feedback session, where your psychologist walks you through the diagnosis and delivers individualized recommendations: writing intervention strategies, academic accommodations, assistive technology options, and next steps matched to what you specifically need.
No. Core Spring Diagnostics never requires a referral to be seen. Feel free to contact us directly, for any reason, and we will coordinate with your child’s school or your own provider only when you want us to.

Both take part in the feedback session, so the picture reaches you whole and firsthand.

Yes. Children, teens, and adults are all evaluated here. Many adults come in after years of engineering their way around writing at school and work, and we adapt the evaluation to your life stage and the settings where writing matters most.
Yes. It documents specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and employers can use, from extended time and a scribe or keyboard to assistive technology and reduced handwriting demands where they make sense.
