Testimonials from Public School Personnel

"Our school district has obtained a range of services from NECC over the years. Some of these were short-term while others were more long term. In every instance the level of programming and services provided were of the very highest quality. The knowledge, understanding, skillfulness, resourcefulness and professionalism of staff including clinical directors and head classroom teachers is both awe inspiring as well as incredibly effective at helping students with the most severe needs. NECC has made a significant difference in the lives of our students and their families. Working with NECC has also helped us to increase the district’s internal capacity to meet the needs of a very complex population of students. NECC’s focus on quality personnel and programming along with its emphasis on evidence or scientific-based practices provides a firm foundation for decision-making and teaching both in school and at home."

"The change in the students from the Partner Classroom from the beginning of the school year to now has been remarkable. The teachers have been very diligent about making the students’ inclusion experiences successful, and the care and concern they have for the students shows through the entire school day. It has also been wonderful to watch the other children in the building accept and become friends with the students in the Partner Classroom as well. This program has been a wonderful addition to our building. I am excited to see the children continue to grow and succeed."

"It has been a joy to have students from the Partner Classroom included in my kindergarten class. The addition of the program has had a big impact on me as a teacher as well as the other students in my room. I am so pleased to see that the students have progressed so quickly and already know the classroom routines and expectations. It is heartwarming to see the students in the Partner Classroom are so excited to spend time learning with their friends in kindergarten. This is a wonderful program and I feel privileged to be a part of it!"
