New England Center for Children

The New England Center for Children (NECC) is an independently operated, private special education residential school in Southborough, Massachusetts, United States. Established in 1975, NECC provides intensive applied behavior analysis interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 3 and 22 years old. NECC also has a partner program through which NECC teachers lead special education classrooms in public schools (under the supervision of a BCBA). These classrooms are spread throughout New England. The Mohammed bin Rashid Center for Special Education, Operated by NECC is a center in Abu Dhabi modeled after the Southborough program. Additionally, NECC has clinics in the Middle East - in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Qatar, as well as a consulting practice throughout the region. The curriculum used at NECC and throughout its programs was developed in-house, and is constantly updated through the research. The Autism Curriculum Encyclopedia (ACE) ABA Software System is commercially available and is used by over 12,000 learners with autism worldwide. Research is integral to everything NECC does, and to that end, onsite graduate programs exist for staff who wish to pursue master's or doctorates in the fields of special education or behavior analysis. The school partners with Simmons University and Western New England University for those programs. NECC researchers
