NECC's Severe Unit Program is designed for students with self-injury and other severe challenging behaviors. Students live in a specially designed four-apartment home in a residential neighborhood close to the Southboro campus. Instruction is primarily given in a one-to-one staff-to-student ratio, with teachers working both in the school and the residence. The ultimate goal of this intensive instruction is to decrease the student's dangerous and severe behaviors and increase his/her capacity to function and communicate independently. In this way the student can be prepared to move on to less restrictive settings and enjoy an improved quality of life. 8003998 8216224 The Residential School is NECC's original with over 40 students, ages 3 to 22, from across the United States. This 365 days per year program was designed for students who have not been successful in their local school systems and require a 24-hour structured environment to make educational progress. Students learn in a 1:2 or 1:3 teacher-to-student ratio. Students participate in the full scope of the NECC curriculum of academic, social, communication and vocational skills as well as physical education. While in their residences, students are focused on independent living skills, leisure interests, recreation and community activities as well as practicing skills learned at school. 7033772 7603384 The Intensive Instruction Program (IIP) is comprised of a preschool and day school serving over 81 children ages 3 to 22 at our central school building. In session year-round from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, the IIP provide a continuum of intensive one-to-one instruction to those children. Communication, pre-academic, social, play and self-help skills are the main focus of the intensive training. The NECC curriculum follows a developmental progression and is taught using a combination of discrete trials and natural learning opportunities. With the ultimate goal of preparing the student for inclusion, parents, teachers, and school systems work towards integrating the child with their local district whenever possible. 16770274 19520341 In addition to the Sever Unit Residential Program, Residential Program and the Intensive Instruction Program, refered to in Part III, line 4, NECC operates the following Programs: - Home Based Service Program serves 8 children as young as 14 months and provides intensive home-based program 16-30 hours a week of one-on-one instruction from a NECC teacher to the child in his/her own home. - Day Program which serves 10 children ages 10 to 22 in specialized classrooms year-round, 5 days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Most of the students in the regular day classroom reside within one hour of the central school building. This year-round program provides intensive instruction a one teacher for every two students basis to provide high rates of learning opportunities. - Intermediate Residential Program operates 365 days a year serving 46 students and is designed for students with self-injury and other severe challenging behaviors. Students live in typical single family homes in residential neighborhoods close to the Southborough campus. These students require additional 1:1 staffing opportunities and the Program provides increased 1:1 staffing and increased clinical and educational supervision. - Adult Program provides services to 9 adults with autism and other developmental disabilities to develop the skills and independence needed to foster successful integration into the community and workforce. Capacity in the adult program is limited, and consists of prior students of NECC's Residential School. - The Transition Program provides students the opportunity for integration into their local school system, back into their home or to a less restrictive program. Through our Transition Program we assist in making this life change by ensuring a sustained level of support for the child. - Public School Consulting Services are offered by NECC through a number of outreach services including professional trainings and workshops, classroom evaluations and consultations, and individual student evaluation and consultation. These services are designed to integrate our three decades of experience working with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methods and techniques into public school systems. Since these services to not require any proximity to our Southborough (MA) campus, they can be provided virtually anywhere. - Partner Classrooms are model ABA classrooms that are operated by NECC in public school systems in individual communities. These classrooms allow children to receive the high quality services and access to NECC's 33 years of expertise in the field of education and autism, while remaining in their local school districts. Instruction for all of the students in the Partner Classroom is provided in a 1:1 (student:teacher) instructional ratio throughout the day. Skills are addressed in individual instruction sessions, small group and inclusion periods to ensure the acquisition, generalization and maintenance of new skills. - Foreign Programs offer private individual state-of-the-art Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programming to students outside the United States. Individual families living throughout the world contract with NECC to have access to our teaching staff, our supervision and our curriculum. These individual programs provide a full range of educational services designed to help children with autism reach their full potential. - NECC - AD - In June 2007, NECC signed a long term agreement with the Abu Dhabi Health Services Co. to establish The New England Center for Children- Abu Dhabi. In addition to providing direct instructional services to children with autism, NECC-AD will add the full spectrum of services that it provides in the USA. This includes early assessment and intervention to achieve best possible outcomes, preschool programming, residential services for severe cases, family support services, professional training and development, and a research program to support best clinical practices in education and treatment for children with autism in the U.A.E.
