Perhaps your child is sharp and eager yet undone by any change to the plan, or perhaps you are the adult who is capable on paper but buried under missed deadlines and half done tasks. An Executive Function Evaluation in Grafton, WI uncovers why organizing, starting, and finishing keep going wrong, and delivers answers you can act on. You never need a referral to begin.
We root every evaluation in a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then build the rest around the specific concern you walked in with. A single licensed psychologist stays with you across the entire process, with nothing farmed out to another provider. And since planning and follow through struggles rarely occur in isolation, we screen for ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences that frequently lie underneath them.
With children, you might observe difficulty following instructions that have several parts, near constant forgetfulness, and big emotional reactions when a transition arrives unannounced. Belongings vanish regularly, and even short tasks can consume far more time than expected.
Teens tend to put things off until the eleventh hour, overlook important due dates, and keep their bags and digital files thoroughly disorganized. Their clear potential does not match their output, and balancing several obligations at once is where they most often stumble.
For adults it can mean enduring disorganization, uncertainty about which task deserves priority, and appointments that quietly slip by. Many live with a draining sense of expending twice the energy of those around them merely to keep pace with the ordinary demands of life.
Your evaluation begins with about an hour of clinical conversation, during which your psychologist gathers a complete background reaching from developmental and academic history to your present concerns. This helps pin down what the testing is meant to answer and which measures will prove most informative.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized battery aligned with your questions, generally 2 to 6 hours of in person testing over one or two days. As the referral question warrants, additional measures of attention, memory, or processing speed may be included, with questionnaires sent home for extra context.
All of the testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results are drawn together into a detailed report addressing cognitive strengths, processing patterns, and any areas of concern. Should ADHD, anxiety, or a learning difference come to light along the way, those findings are set down too.
Approximately two to three weeks later, you return for a feedback session where your psychologist walks you through the findings in accessible language. You depart with individualized recommendations, from accommodations to concrete strategies, all directed toward your goals.
They overlap considerably. Given that executive function lies at the center of ADHD, the evaluation looks closely at attention, planning, working memory, and self regulation, and it screens for ADHD as well as the anxiety and learning differences that can present similarly.

It assesses the essential skills you use to plan, initiate, organize, remember, and follow through, evaluated against a baseline of cognitive and executive function, and then ties those results to what you notice in your everyday life.
Yes, of course. We evaluate children, teens, and adults alike. Many adults seek us out after years of compensating quietly, most commonly once the demands of work or family finally exceed the workarounds they have built up.
You will come away with a plain language report and a feedback session full of practical, individualized recommendations: the tools, structures, accommodations, and next steps suited to the way your brain genuinely works.
