Does this sound familiar?

Navigating school, learning, or developmental challenges can feel overwhelming and leave families searching for answers.

Many turn to NECCA when they notice their child or adolescent is struggling with:

  • Reading & Academics

    Falling behind in reading or math, frustration with spelling or writing despite effort (potential signs of Dyslexia or other learning disorders).

  • Attention & Focus

    Difficulty concentrating, staying organized, managing impulsivity, or completing tasks (indicators of possible AD/HD or executive function issues).

  • Behavior & Emotions

    Significant changes in mood, behavior, emotional regulation, or social interactions.

  • Specific Conditions

    Concerns related to recovery from brain injury (concussion), medical/genetic disorders impacting learning, or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder.

  • Navigating Accommodations

    Needing clear documentation or updated testing to support requests for accommodations in school or for standardized tests (like SAT/ACT).

    • You're not alone

    Pinpointing the specific nature of these challenges is the crucial first step toward effective support and renewed confidence.

    • Parent

      Looking back after a successful year, I could not imagine where my son would be today without Dr. Kelly!

    • Parent

      Karen conducted a thorough and insightful evaluation for my daughter and provided valuable recommendations for her cognitive and emotional well-being. She took the time to explain the results in a clear and understandable manner. She showed me her areas of strength and weakness and she recommended specific schools to best suit her needs. I would highly recommend her.

    • Parent

      With Dr. Kelly’s input, the school developed a tailored IEP plan that specifically targeted his needs. Not only did my son flourish academically but also socially! Throughout the entire process, Dr. Kelly was always available to answer questions and provide her feedback.
