NESCA (Neuropsychology & Education Services for Children & Adolescents) is located in the Chapel Bridge Park complex in Newton, just blocks from Nonantum Village off Route 16.

You may park in any of the spaces in the parking lot opposite the main entrance to our building, 55 Chapel Street. You may also park in any reserved NESCA space in the lot opposite 59 Chapel Street further down the street towards Watertown Street. Reserved spaces are in the back row on the left-hand side. If spaces are unavailable in both of those lots, you may park in any non-reserved space in the large lots opposite 80 Bridge Street, which runs parallel to Chapel Street. Alternatively, street parking is permitted for 2 hours on Chapel Street which is sufficient for many appointments at NESCA.

In consideration of other tenants in the complex, please do not park, even briefly, in any space reserved for a company other than NESCA. If you do, building management may apply a large orange sticker to your car.

Once inside the building please proceed to the second elevator on the left-hand side. There are also stairs that lead to suite 202 straight ahead.
