On Weds., November 14, from 7:00 - 9:00pm, NESCA Founder and Director Ann Helmus, Ph.D. will discuss the "nuts and bolts" of neuropsychological evaluation:

• What exactly is a neuropsych evaluation?
• Why would you have your child evaluated, and when?
• How do you choose someone to evaluate your child?
• How does an experienced neuropsychologist drill down into your child's "symptoms" (attention deficits, executive function weaknesses, etc.), to fully understand what's likely going on in his/her brain, and explain that to you clearly?
• And, then, how can YOU use this enhanced knowledge to improve your child's ability to learn?

She will also focus on the written report and what you're entitled to expect of it: timely delivery, insightfully integrated data, a recognizable portrait of your whole child, and a set of specific recommendations easily understood and implemented by all concerned.

When: Wednesday, November 14th, 7:00 – 9:00pm

Where: NESCA, 55 Chapel Street, 2nd Floor, Newton, MA

This program is appropriate for parents who have had a child evaluated before, as well as for those who have not. Dr. Helmus will allow plenty of time to answer specific
questions from the audience.

There is ample free, off-street parking. Light refreshments will be served.

This presentation is FREE! Seating is very limited, so RSVP quickly to Amanda Renzi or Melissa Jensen at 617-658-9800, ext. 0, or by email to nesca@nesca-newton.com.
