OUR MISSION
Empowering families. Fostering resilience.
Neurodiversity Support for Children, Inc. (NSC) is a Massachusetts nonprofit charitable corporation and is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity. The mission of NSC is to empower and support the values, strengths, and mental health needs of neurodiverse children by providing access to neuropsychological evaluations, research-supported mental health therapy, and advocacy services. NSC helps families access these services through financial assistance and educational resources.
Neurodiversity is the recognition that variations in human brain functioning represent differences that are an important part of diversity and bring value to our community. Cognitive, learning, social-emotional, and behavioral differences can result in specific challenges related to autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neuropsychological profiles, which allow specific strengths and gifts to emerge. When challenges are met with compassion, understanding, accommodations, and inclusive support, neurodivergent children can thrive.
