ACE® Improvements Increase Engagement
In the past year, the ACE® ABA Software System introduced significant updates, focusing on improving the user experience for educators and behavior analysts.
NECC’s Onsite Hearing Tests Promote Student Success
For children with autism, completing medical procedures can be an immense challenge. These mandatory hearing screenings have required NECC staff and students to invest in a full-day trip to Boston. Now, students are tested using a less invasive test onsite at NECC Southborough.
Improving Autism Education Through Research
NECC is dedicated to promoting research that helps further the field of autism education. Teachers and researchers work alongside one another on research projects, often as part of NECC’s graduate school program partnerships.
Sharing ABA Across the Globe
Since 2009 when the ACE® was first offered as a commercial subscription service, the award-winning curriculum has impacted the lives of more than 25,000 children with autism in 48 U.S. states/territories and 18 countries.
Expanding Autism Services in Public Schools
Over the last two years, the pandemic has exacerbated a human services crisis and staffing shortage that has led to individuals with special needs being left without the necessary support. During the 2020-2021 academic year, NECC expanded its Consulting and Public School Services division to help.
Embracing DEI Practices
NECC’s Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Fatou Njie-Jallow has been hard at work expanding awareness of DEI practices among the NECC community.
Driving Student Ambition Through Vocational Training
NECC’s Vocational Program allows students aged 14 and older to work up to four hours a week either in the community or within the school through NECC’s Career Development Center. Students like Anders learn important skills through jobs like his at J. White Automotive in Bellingham.
