| ABA is the
application of information
about learning and motivation
to help people with everyday
problems. It provides scientifically-derived
interventions to overcome
the learning and communication
deficits and behavioral
excesses of individuals
with autism and other developmental
disabilities.
ABA provides NECC with
proven methodologies,
based on positive reinforcement,
to teach skills across
a student’s day:
at home, in the residence,
at school, and in the
community. We use many
different methods including
task analysis, discrete
trials, incidental learning,
and other proven curricula
that best suit the individual
student’s learning
style.
Data are taken before
and during treatment and
ineffective interventions
are revised quickly to
ensure continued progress.
Skills are taught systematically
across teachers, parents
and settings to insure
generalization and maintenance
in less structured environments.

NECC’s curriculum is based on
the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA). ABA is derived from the science
of Behaviorism, founded by B.F. Skinner,
and concerned with identifying how people
learn and what motivates their behavior.
ABA is the only proven treatment approach
with empirical data and a body of scientific
literature to support its effectiveness
with children with autism.
