The ACE® system is covered by U.S. Patent number 7,974,569 B2; other patent pending.
The Autism Curriculum Encyclopedia® (ACE®) is the culmination of over 35 years of research and practice conducted at the New England Center for Children®, a leader in the fields of ABA and Autism.
Assess - Identify Key Factors for Individual Success
Teach - Build Independence Across Life Span
Evaluate - Document Success Every Day
The ACE is a web-based toolkit providing special educators with an evidence-based program to assess, teach, and evaluate students with autism. ACE provides an interactive database containing assessment tools, lesson plans, teaching materials, and student performance reports for over 1,300 skills drawn from the curriculum used at NECC.
"The ACE is without question the most comprehensive and functional assessment, curriculum and instructional program for the field of autism today. It encompasses the full range of relevant and important skills typically applicable to children (and adults) with autism. Further, the validity of the program is matched by its ease of use. I have seen many sophisticated and elegant computer applications that are simply beyond the span of most consumers. In contrast, the ACE is extremely interactive and easy to navigate, and thus promises widespread applicability."
Judith Favell, Ph.D., BCBA-D CEO, AdvoServ, President, Behavior Analyst Certification Board
The ACE is designed to provide teachers, administrators, and other school professionals with easy access to applied behavior analytic procedures and an effective and efficient way to aggregate and understand student performance data. Every lesson plan within the ACE can be customized to the learning profile of the individual student being taught. Thus, this web-based curriculum fills an enormous need for an easy to access, comprehensive and rigorously tested resource allowing teachers and schools to provide effective and individualized services to their students.
