One of the best ways for NECC to share research findings is through the many scientific publications that cover the field of Autism and related disorders. For example, summaries of studies conducted by our staff members – as well as those that were completed through collaborative efforts with other research centers and individual scientists - have appeared in periodicals such as the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

Please review the sections and links below to see some of our recent and archived publications. You can also view our Research Newsletter, sign up to receive it automatically by email, or subscribe to have it sent directly to your home.
