The following comments, for which we are very grateful, are excerpted from some of the
many unsolicited and supportive letters we have received, commending the quality of our
services and staff. They appear here with the knowledge and consent of the authors.
"Ann's presentation was most helpful. Ann (Helmus) is very sincere, and her integrity
apparent, when she discusses her area of expertise. She would make for a useful and thoughtful
documentary. If available, I would purchase a DVD, or pay to download it or view a video from your
website. It is a refreshing switch from many of the self-serving authors and speakers on the circuit…"
A.T., Parent, Burlington, MA
"I just wanted to thank you (Dr. Elizabeth Gatti) for the outstanding job you
did on (my client’s) evaluation. It was extremely thorough and the effort you put into it
was very obvious. I also appreciate your collaborative spirit in all the cases we’ve
worked on together. Thanks again.”
S.T., Educational Advocate, Andover, MA
"Amy Allgair of NESCA presented her report in a poised, respectful, and knowledgeable way.
Her demeanor showed strength and conviction. Most importantly, her presentation was
based on solid facts and knowledge of the child and family. The team reached an
excellent outcome as a result. Please convey thanks on behalf of our client!"
Special Special Education Attorney, MetroBoston, MA
"A good evaluation done by a respected professional is so important! We had Allison
evaluated by Elizabeth Gatti from NESCA. Her report was so comprehensive and
detailed. . . With this information we were able to get support (for) a placement at
Landmark next year. With the many people I talk to, I try very hard to stress that the
money they pay for this type of evaluation is priceless. It really makes a difference
when you spend the money to get a good report. I will now refer NESCA for evaluations."
L.D., Parent, Reading, MA
"Over the last 10 years, you have consistently been a source of support and advice,
rescuing the most difficult situations. You have always accommodated my needs to fit within your
hectic schedule. Words cannot express my appreciation."
A.C., Parent, Arlington, MA
"As advisor and school counselor here, I wanted to tell you that this is one of the most
thorough, helpful evaluations I have ever read…it demonstrates the caring, creative approach
you took in connecting with this wonderful boy."
A.P., private school counselor/chaplain
"I recommend NESCA…it has been of enormous help to our children in making
concrete IEP recommendations that school core evaluations will not typically offer and in helping
us understand and address their needs. The practice fills an important need for a more
holistic/whole child approach."
M.A., Parent, Winchester, MA
"I wish we could live in the warmth we feel at NESCA. Thanks for all the help. I promise
when my kids are grown and successful - and famous and rich - they will note you in their
biographies."
L.D., Attorney, Cambridge, MA
"THANK YOU SO MUCH, Sandi! It has been such a pleasure working with you during this process.
Your upbeat and so helpful style has helped to make this process so much easier for both A. and me..."
J.M., Parent, Hingham, MA
"The staff at NESCA that Ann (Helmus) has incorporated into her facility is the state of the art!
Thank you for doing such a fine job and helping M.S. receive the program that he so well deserves."
T.S., Educational Advocate, Newton, MA
"I wanted you to know that from the outset, the special ed department told us that they were
very impressed with your report and the thoroughness of your testing, so that it was never a
question of whether S.G. would be eligible for special ed; it was only a question of what
type of services she would need. Thank you for your good work. We appreciate it."
C.G., Parent, Needham, MA
"I was so excited when I left M's team meeting! The comment from Ms. H., liaison person at
(school), after our meeting was, 'If it wasn't for this report and Dr. Talamo's testing the
outcome might have been different for M.S. The testing results and her recommendations were so
nicely stated and well documented that they would be hard to dispute.' You are indeed an
expert professional and do a fantastic assessment."
T.S., Educational Advocate, Newton, MA
"Ann does quality work. Not cookie-cutter work."
B.J.C., School Administrator, Milford, MA
“I especially want to thank you for your unbelievably thorough suggestions for his IEP.
That was EXACTLY what I needed – and it will be the framework of our IEP development. That was
superb – I can’t say enough about how you managed somehow to capture his needs and made it very
clear in the report. You may have saved our lives here.”
R.W., Lexington, MA
