The New England Center for Children (NECC) received a grant from the Autism Coalition for Research and Education to fund the development of a curriculum database tool for educating students at NECC. A U.S. Department of Education National Award Winner, The New England Center for Children is a residential and day school serving individuals diagnosed with autism, behavior disorders, Pervasive Development Disorder and related disabilities. The New England Center for Children is a non-profit, publicly funded school serving 232 students who come to us from throughout the United States and several foreign countries. The curriculum intranet database will provide a central location for all teaching protocols used at NECC. This will allow teachers and administrators easy access to standardized programs, which can be individualized to meet the specific needs of their case students. This is the first grant that NECC has received from the Autism Coalition for Research and Education.
