NESCA Newton

NESCA has been an enormous help to our family. We've used them multiple times over the years. Not only have their Neuropsychologists and Transition Specialist given us meaningful and detailed insights into our teenager, but they've been great with the teen as well. They are also available to consult on treatment options, planning for school and home and working with the schools/IEPs. They're the best.

We have used NESCA for evaluation of our children. They are professional, empathetic and thorough in communicating the results.

We have had the best experiences. Thorough assessments and the most unbelievably wonderful executive function tutor that has ever existed. Responsive. Thorough. Relationship based practice.

We were very impressed with the entire process of having our daughter assessed. The support staff is responsive and helpful. In fact, we are having a 2nd evaluation for our daughter at NESCA: 5 years later to prior to college.

We are so impressed with NESCA services. Once we started getting our son evaluated at NESCA we understood how important it is to get an evaluation from a team that is as professional as NESCA is. It has been a pivotal part of getting him the help he needs and understanding him better overall. Not only are the evaluations detailed, communication is impressive and recommendations they make are always helpful and have been a game changer in my sons development. One of them being Billy, the person trainer at NESCA, who my son has been seeing weekly for 3 years. I highly recommend NESCA for evaluations and for Billy.

I cannot praise NESCA enough! Honestly, I would have probably thrown myself into a ditch without their guidance, empathy, expertise, and continued support, particularly through the pandemic. My son is a high school senior and went through a depression during the pandemic and his NESCA Life Skills Coach, Sophie Bellinis and Transition Adviser, Kelley Challen were and continue to be our lifeline when it comes to emotionally supporting him and advising him on post-secondary planning. NESCA exercises a client-centered approach with an emphasis on a child's gifts and strengths rather than their deficits. This approach has been critical in empowering my son, so that he feels prideful, and not shameful.

I have had 2 of my children evaluated at NESCA, in each case this Fall as well as 3 years ago. I can say that the team at NESCA, led by Dr. Ann Helmus, literally changed our kids' lives. Their dedication, including numerous emails on weekends and in the evenings, combined with their incredible expertise and caring advice, has made a difference in immeasurable ways. I recommend NESCA without reservation. They are simply the best medical professionals with whom I have ever dealt.
