Pediatric Neuropsychological Assessment in La Crosse, WI
Comprehensive testing for La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen kids and teens — about 70 minutes west on I-90, with openings in days instead of a school year.
Across the River and Straight Up I-90
For families in La Crosse, the closest board-certified pediatric neuropsychology has rarely been in Wisconsin. Madison is two and a half hours east and Milwaukee further still, while Rochester is a single I-90 run west — across the Mississippi at La Crescent and up the bluffs, roughly 70 minutes door to door.
We see children, teens, and adults from across the coulee region: downtown La Crosse and the 54601 and 54603 neighborhoods, Onalaska, Holmen and 54650, plus Shelby, West Salem, and the Wisconsin side of the river generally. Testing happens in NW Rochester at 3777 40th Avenue NW, Suite 103, with free parking at the entrance.
Many La Crosse families already cross the river for specialty appointments. The difference here is a small private practice: the person who answers the phone is on the same team that sits with you at the feedback session.

What Care Looks Like for La Crosse Area Families
La Crosse referrals usually start with a school question — is this ADHD or anxiety, is my child dyslexic, does this profile qualify for an IEP or a 504 plan? Wisconsin districts including the La Crosse School District, Onalaska, Holmen, and Aquinas Catholic Schools review outside neuropsychological evaluations as part of that process, and the report is written so a Wisconsin team can act on it directly. Testing is consolidated into a single day so the drive west is made once.
- Comprehensive ADHD, learning, and autism evaluations
- Board-certified clinical review on every case
- Clear, actionable written reports that schools and pediatricians can use immediately
- IEP- and 504-ready documentation accepted across SE Minnesota districts
Why La Crosse Families Choose Rochester Over Madison
Closer Than Madison
Rochester is about 70 minutes west on I-90 — a shorter trip than either Madison or Milwaukee for board-certified pediatric neuropsychology.
Weeks, Not Seasons
La Crosse families typically start within days to a few weeks rather than waiting out a 12- to 18-month specialty list.
Private Pay, Superbill Provided
We do not bill insurance directly. You receive an itemized superbill to submit to your Wisconsin plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
