MADELINE MANNING, Ph.D.
Pediatric Neuropsychologist
Dr. Madeline Manning is a dedicated pediatric neuropsychologist who brings a broad and diverse training background to her work with toddlers, school-aged children, adolescents, and young adults. She is deeply committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and individualized care that is grounded in a strengths-based, resilience-focused framework. Dr. Manning believes in approaching each evaluation as a collaborative journey — working closely with families to understand the whole child within the context of their unique socioecological environment, including their home, school, and broader community.
Her clinical expertise spans a wide range of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and medical conditions. These include, but are not limited to, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention and executive functioning challenges, learning disabilities, language disorders, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, epilepsy, and genetic conditions. Dr. Manning’s goal is to help families gain a clearer understanding of their child’s cognitive profile—both strengths and areas of need—in order to build a practical, personalized roadmap of supports and resources that promote growth and success across settings.
Prior to joining the team at NESCA, Dr. Manning completed an American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited predoctoral internship in neuropsychological assessment at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida. She then went on to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, within the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program (LEAP), where she was later employed as a staff pediatric neuropsychologist.
Dr. Manning is a professional member of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, the American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology, and the International Neuropsychological Society. She has presented her research at national conferences. She earned her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University School of Medicine and her doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University.
Originally from the South Shore of Massachusetts, Dr. Manning is proud to serve the community she calls home. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, skiing, relaxing at the beach, curating her vinyl record collection, and learning new songs on the piano.
