School Notes

The New England Center for Children, a school for autism located 20 miles west of Boston in Southborough, Massachusetts.
We are a private, nonprofit autism education center dedicated to bringing out human potential and creating productive lives for children with autism.
Since 1975, we have remained true to our original mission providing state-of-the-art autism education and individualized treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, and Asperger's Syndrome.
Our students and parents come from all areas of the country, and have varying backgrounds and family situations.
All families share the commitment to find and support the best possible placement for their child with Autism/PDD or other Related Disorders.
The New England Center for Children provides a full range of educational, residential and treatment programs designed to help children with autism and other developmental disabilities reach their full potential.
Our overriding goal is to provide state-of-the-art Applied Behavior Analysis when teaching children with autism, thereby increasing their abilities to function and communicate successfully with as much independence as possible.
Each program has been developed to address varying skills and multiple levels of functioning.

We believe every child with autism deserves the best services available so they can live full, productive, and rewarding lives in their community. At The New England Center for Children (NECC), we provide comprehensive services for children with autism: through day and residential programs, partner classrooms in public school systems, consulting services, and autism curriculum software for teachers.We also know that to serve as many children with autism as possible, we must reach beyond on our own walls. That`s why training is such a critical part of our model. NECC provides staff with initial training, ongoing professional development, and graduate program opportunities. In fact, NECC has trained thousands of professionals who are now providing state-of-the-art care and services worldwide, whether through consulting, teaching, or their own programs.The John and Diane Kim Autism Institute is home to our research center, where we study how children with autism best learn. This data is published in top peer-reviewed journals and is also directed into theACE ABA Software System, our autism curriculum used by educators around the world.
