Neuropsychological Evaluation and Projective Testing Services in Hingham

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

NESCA’s Hingham clinicians specialize in middle and high school-aged children and young adults, including those who show signs of:

  • An Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Being psychologically complex
  • Mental health or mood disorders
  • Emotional, behavioral, and attentional challenges
