Maybe your teen is capable of far more than their grades show, and choices about advanced classes or acceleration are coming fast. Maybe you want a clear read before those decisions get made. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Grafton, WI gives you an accurate picture of the strengths at play, in time to use it. No referral is needed to get started.
One licensed psychologist leads the whole evaluation, from the first conversation through testing and the feedback session, without any hand off. We begin by examining executive function and how information gets processed, then focus the testing on the specific question you have. If something else appears, such as attention or a learning difference, it is screened for as part of the same look.
Some milestones arriving early and others trailing, an unusually intense focus on a particular interest, or questions that sound far older than the child. You may also notice boredom or frustration in class and a clear gap between what a child can plainly do and what their daily schoolwork shows.
Underachievement despite obvious talent, grades that swing without matching potential, or a teen actively deciding about acceleration or advanced coursework who wants a solid grasp of their strengths first. Many simply want a clearer view of themselves before consequential academic decisions arrive.
Wanting to understand your own cognitive profile, sorting out a lifelong pattern of clear strengths beside quiet difficulties, or needing formal documentation of your abilities and needs to support academic or workplace planning.
The evaluation starts with roughly an hour of conversation, in which your psychologist gathers the complete background, from developmental and academic history to the cognitive questions in play now. This clarifies why testing is happening, whether for giftedness, a baseline, or planning, and guides which assessments will be most informative.
Your psychologist selects a tailored battery of intellectual and cognitive assessments. Testing usually spans 2 to 6 hours in person over one to two days, adding measures of executive function, processing speed, or memory when they sharpen the picture. Questionnaires are sent home to supply further context.
All the testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results are drawn together into a detailed report addressing intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, processing patterns, and any areas of concern. If another condition, such as attention or a learning difference, arises during testing, that finding is documented as well.
About two to three weeks later, you come back for the feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the results in clear language and offers individualized recommendations: educational planning, strategies that build on cognitive strengths, accommodations where they apply, and next steps aligned with your goals.
No. A referral is never needed to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can contact us directly, for any reason, and arrange things yourself.
People seek one to identify giftedness, plan for school, understand strengths that do not line up, support an accommodation request, or simply get a clear read on how a child or adult thinks and learns.
No. We examine intellectual ability alongside processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, then explain what the full profile means in practical terms with recommendations tailored to you.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and many adults come to understand their own profile or to document strengths and needs for school or work.
