Maybe the school keeps mentioning your child's potential while the report card says something else, and you just want the real story before the next meeting. Maybe you need clear documentation to move a plan forward. IQ & Cognitive Function Testing in West Allis, WI gives you that grounded picture and the paperwork to back it. No referral is required to get going.
One licensed psychologist runs the entire evaluation, from your first conversation to the final feedback session, with no hand off in between. We open with a look at executive function and how information is processed, then aim the testing at your particular question. If anything else turns up during the work, like attention or a learning difference, we screen for it right alongside.
Some milestones arriving early and others slowly, an intense pull toward one particular interest, or questions that seem well beyond their years. You might also see boredom or frustration during lessons, and a noticeable gap between what a child can plainly do and how the school day actually unfolds.
Talent that is obvious but not reflected in the grades, marks that jump around without a clear cause, or a teen facing decisions about advanced classes who wants a solid read on their strengths first. Many simply want a clearer map of themselves before the next academic step.
A wish to understand how your own mind is wired, an effort to make sense of a lifetime of strengths paired with quiet struggles, or a concrete need for documentation of your profile to support school, licensing, or workplace requests.
We begin with about an hour of interview, during which your psychologist assembles the complete background, from developmental and academic history to the cognitive concerns in front of you now. This clarifies the aim of testing, whether giftedness, a baseline, or planning, and shapes which assessments will be most useful.
Your psychologist then chooses a battery of intellectual and cognitive measures fitted to your question. Testing typically means 2 to 6 hours in person across one or two days, adding executive function, processing speed, or memory measures where they inform the picture. Questionnaires are sent home for extra context.
All of the data, the in session observations, and the questionnaire results are combined into a detailed report covering intellectual ability, cognitive strengths, and processing patterns, along with anything of concern. Should another condition, such as attention or a learning difference, emerge, it is documented as well.
Roughly two to three weeks afterward, you return for the feedback session. Your psychologist reviews the findings in plain terms and gives you individualized recommendations: educational planning, strategies that build on strengths, accommodations when relevant, and next steps tied to your goals.
No. Core Spring Diagnostics does not require a referral for anyone. You are free to contact us directly and arrange an evaluation on your own.
Common reasons include identifying giftedness, planning for school, understanding strengths that do not add up, supporting an accommodation request, or getting a straightforward read on how a child or adult learns.
No. Intellectual ability is examined together with processing speed, working memory, executive function, and other patterns, and the resulting profile is explained in practical terms with recommendations you can use.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, and many adults come in to understand their own profile or to document strengths and needs for school or work.
A report written in plain language and a feedback session that translates the results into educational and practical guidance aligned with your goals.
