Maybe your child finishes the worksheet before the class has started and then stares out the window for the rest of the hour. Maybe a teacher keeps saying "so capable" while the grades tell a different story. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Elkhorn, WI gives you a clear read on where a bright mind actually stands. No referral is needed to begin.
The same licensed psychologist stays with you from the opening conversation through testing and the feedback session, so nothing gets handed off partway. Every evaluation starts with a look at executive function and how information gets processed, then narrows to the specific question that brought you in. Anything else that shows up along the way, like attention or a learning difference, is screened for as part of the same picture.
Hitting some milestones early while lagging on others, locking onto a favorite subject with unusual intensity, or asking questions that sound years ahead. You may also notice restlessness and boredom in class, or a puzzling gap between what a child can obviously do and what shows up on their schoolwork.
Clear ability that never quite lands as grades, marks that swing without explanation, or a teen weighing advanced coursework and wanting a real sense of their footing first. Some simply want to understand their own strengths before big decisions about high school or college come due.
A long standing curiosity about how your own mind works, a wish to make sense of patterns of strength and struggle that have followed you for years, or a practical need to document your profile for a degree program or a job that requires it.
We start with about an hour of conversation, gathering the full backstory from early development and school history to the cognitive questions you have right now. This is where we pin down what testing is really for, whether that is giftedness, a cognitive baseline, or academic planning, and which measures will tell us the most.
Your psychologist assembles a battery of intellectual and cognitive assessments chosen for your question. In person testing usually runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days, with added measures of executive function, processing speed, or memory when they help. Take home questionnaires fill in context from daily life.
Every score, observation, and questionnaire is pulled into one detailed report that lays out intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns alongside any areas worth watching. If a condition such as attention or a learning difference emerges during testing, that is written up too.
Typically two to three weeks later you come back for the feedback session. Your psychologist walks the results through in plain terms and hands you recommendations built for your situation: school planning, strategies that lean on real strengths, accommodations where they fit, and clear next steps.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can contact us directly, for any reason, and set things up yourself.
People come in to explore giftedness, plan academically, make sense of strengths that do not line up, back an accommodation request, or simply get a clear read on how a child or adult thinks and learns.
No. We look at intellectual ability together with processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, then explain what that whole profile means in real, practical terms with recommendations to match.
Yes. We see children, teens, and adults. Plenty of adults come in to finally understand their own profile or to document their strengths and needs for school or work.
A report written in everyday language and a feedback session that turns the findings into educational and practical guidance shaped around your goals.
