Maybe your child is plainly capable yet keeps stumbling in ways that puzzle everyone around them. Maybe you are the adult who has wondered for a long time how your own strengths and blind spots fit together. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in Sussex, WI turns that wondering into a grounded answer, and no referral is ever needed to begin.
One licensed psychologist handles your evaluation end to end, from the first conversation through testing and the feedback session, so nothing is ever passed along to someone unfamiliar. We anchor the work in a baseline of intellectual ability, processing speed, working memory, and executive function, then tailor the rest to the concern you bring. Whatever else appears, whether ADHD, a learning difference, or anxiety, is screened for along the way.
Development that came early but unevenly, an intense lock in on one favored subject, or questions that seem to belong to a much older child, paired with boredom once school starts. Usually the strongest clue is the gap between what a child can clearly manage and what shows up in their daily work.
Talent that never fully lands on the report card, grades that fluctuate against obvious potential, or serious interest in acceleration and advanced classes. Beneath it, many teens simply want an honest sense of their strengths before they lock in weighty academic decisions.
A long standing feeling that your ability and your outcomes have not matched, a hope to finally name years of shifting strengths and struggles, or a real need for documentation to support planning at school or work. Seeing your own profile clearly often reframes how you approach both.
We start with a clinical interview, typically about an hour, involving the parent or caregiver who knows the full arc of the story. Your psychologist develops a complete developmental history, from early milestones to current behavior across home and school, and lets it point toward the autism specific assessments that will clarify the most.
From there your psychologist puts together a battery of intellectual and cognitive measures fitted to your question rather than a standard sequence. Testing generally takes 2 to 6 hours of in person work over one to two days, adding assessments of processing speed, memory, or executive function when the question asks for them. Questionnaires head home for more context.
Everything gathered, the scores, the observations, the questionnaire responses, comes together in a single detailed report describing intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns, plus any areas worth noting. If another condition emerges during testing, such as anxiety or a learning difference, it is written up clearly alongside the rest of the findings.
Typically two to three weeks later, you come back for a feedback session in which your psychologist explains the results in plain, usable terms. You leave with individualized recommendations, whether that means educational planning, strategies that capitalize on your strengths, or accommodations aligned with the goals you set out.
No. A referral is never necessary at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are free to reach out to us directly, for any reason and on your own schedule.

No. We weigh intellectual ability together with processing speed, working memory, and executive function, then interpret the whole profile in real world terms and pair it with recommendations you can actually apply.
