Welcome to NESCA
Neuropsychology & Education Services for Children & Adolescents (NESCA) is one of the most well-respected and recognized pediatric neuropsychology and integrative treatment practices in New England. With offices in Newton, Hingham, and Plainville, Massachusetts, and Londonderry, New Hampshire, as well as staff in greater Burlington, Vermont, we are a group of dedicated, expert clinicians with highly diverse skills and broad perspective who have a shared tenacity for helping clients from infancy through young adulthood along with their families and educators.
Founded in 2007 by Dr. Ann Helmus, the team of clinicians includes more than 20 master’s and doctoral level professionals, offering domestic and international neuropsychological evaluations, psychological testing, postsecondary transition services, educational occupational therapy services, speech and language evaluation services, educational consultation, psychoeducational counseling, and integrative treatment services. Our work helps create the roadmap, or game plan, that allows people to rewrite the script of their lives, tell a new story and create a path forward!
