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 day school 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 are widely published and present their studies all over the world.
Founded as the Efficacy Research Institute by Vincent Strully, Dudley Orr, and John Pangburn in 1975, it was initially located in the Taunton State Hospital in Taunton, Massachusetts. In 1986, the school's name changed to the New England Center for Autism and relocated to Southborough before the title revised again to the New England Center for Children in 1996.
In 1997, NECC established a private program in Abu Dhabi and a consulting practice throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
In 2000, NECC receives the National Award for Model Professional Development from the U.S. Department of Education. In 2003, the first lesson is published to the ACE app developed at the school, and by 2006, the ACE expanded to other schools.
