Narrative

NESCA is a group practice with offices and staff in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. We specialize in assessment, treatment, and consultation services for children, teens, and young adults with special needs, whether mild or complex. Our staff is comprised of expert neuropsychologists, transition specialists, treatment providers, and consultants with decades of collective experience at the highest levels of practice. We partner side-by-side with families, schools, and community providers throughout a young person’s long-term development.

NESCA Evaluations Offered in Hingham:

• Neuropsychological Evaluations—help to better understand why a child, teen, or young adult may be having difficulty meeting age-appropriate demands in school, the community, or at home, or to monitor a young person’s progress and course of development. Neuropsychological evaluations provide:
  • a highly-detailed description of an individual’s developmental status, thinking patterns, and learning style
  • reports that are based upon a very careful integration of findings from developmental history, observations by parents, family members, teachers and clinician(s), and data from NESCA’s own testing
• Projective Testing—focuses on social-emotional development and functioning, and involves additional, specialized testing by a highly trained clinician. Projective tests are:
  • performance-based tests that require the respondent to perform a task that has little structure, direction, or guidance
  • helpful in understanding why a child may be experiencing emotional distress or exhibiting significant changes in behavior or social functioning
  • often utilized to learn more about an individual’s mood and personality
  • useful in understanding if a client’s thinking is logical and reality-based
