Perhaps your teen studies for hours and still comes home defeated by one class, or reading has felt like swimming upstream since first grade. A Learning Disability Evaluation in Lake Geneva, WI shows you exactly where learning stalls and what genuinely helps, instead of leaving you to guess. You can come to us directly, with no referral required.
We start every case from a baseline of cognitive and executive function, because that foundation shapes how we read everything else. An in house learning disability specialist then works shoulder to shoulder with your psychologist on the academic testing, examining reading, writing, and math in detail. The same licensed psychologist guides your case the whole way, and we screen for the conditions that so often travel alongside a learning difference.
The effort is clearly there, yet the results in reading, writing, or math keep falling short. Your child may steer around a particular subject, produce slow or error filled work in just that one area, and carry a frustration that does not square with how sharp they are everywhere else.
One subject stays stubbornly behind despite real, sustained effort, and your teen has learned to lean on workarounds to keep up. Specific assignments get avoided or delayed, and simply piling on more practice does nothing to close the widening gap.
A long standing weakness in a single academic area has trailed you for years, quietly managed until now. College, graduate study, or a demanding role brings it back into focus, and you are ready for a definitive answer instead of another improvised fix.
Your evaluation opens with a one hour clinical interview in which your psychologist assembles a complete academic and developmental history, from early schooling right up to the current challenges. This is where we start to see where the learning falters and which specific assessments will give us the clearest read.
Next, your psychologist tailors a testing battery to your concern, combining broad cognitive assessments with pointed academic skill measures across roughly 2 to 6 hours in person over one to two days. An in house learning disability specialist delivers the targeted reading, writing, or math testing that complements the psychologist's cognitive, executive, and adaptive evaluation. We also send questionnaires home to you and to the teachers involved in the learning.
The data from both the psychologist and the learning disability specialist is compiled into a single, detailed diagnostic report covering cognitive ability, academic achievement, and any processing differences. Should other concerns such as ADHD or anxiety emerge during testing, we include them so the picture stays complete.
About two to three weeks after testing you return for feedback. Your psychologist explains the diagnosis clearly and gives you individualized recommendations, from academic accommodations and school or work strategies to therapy or tutoring resources and next steps matched to your learning profile.
Not at all. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Reach out to us directly for any reason, and we will coordinate with your child’s school only if you ask us to.
Academic learning disorders demand testing designed specifically for them. The psychologist manages the cognitive and executive function baseline and the broader clinical picture, while an in house learning disability specialist conducts the academic testing, and both clinicians take part in the feedback session.
Our evaluations cover reading disabilities such as dyslexia, writing disabilities such as dysgraphia, and math disabilities such as dyscalculia, plus the cognitive and attention factors that influence learning.
Absolutely. We see children, teens, and adults alike. A great many adults pursue testing when the demands of school or a career finally overtake the strategies they have quietly relied on.
Yes. The written report documents specific findings and recommendations that schools, colleges, and employers can rely on, including support for an IEP, a 504 plan, and testing accommodations.
Give us a call at (414) 387-2100. We will discuss what you are seeing and set up your first appointment, with no paperwork or referral needed in advance.
