The New England Center for Children is located in Southboro, Massachusetts, 20 minutes west of Boston.  NECC’s primary mission is to increase the skills of individuals with autism through the use of applied behavior analysis (ABA).  NECC provides comprehensive educational, residential and clinical services for over 200 children, adolescents and young adults.  We provide intensive training and all teachers must pass a graduate-level introductory ABA course during their first months of employment. In addition, we are associated with three university master’s degree programs: Simmons College’s masters in severe special needs, Northeastern University’s masters in applied behavior analysis, and Framingham State College’s masters in counseling psychology.  All are 3-year programs with courses taught on site and tuition significantly reimbursed by NECC.
