Curriculum
and Approach |
| |
The NECC curriculum
focuses on communication,
academic, social, play and
self-help skills. It is
taught using a combination
of discrete trials and incidental
learning opportunities guided
by the teacher’s use
of techniques based on the
principles of Applied Behavior
Analysis. In the Regular
Classroom, aiding the child
in the development of communication
skills is the highest priority.
Academics, including reading,
math, science and social
studies are also offered
in addition to a continued
emphasis on social and self-help
skills. As students get
older, the NECC curriculum
expands to functional life
skills and vocational training.
The vocational component
is based on a supported
employment model, with an
emphasis on community jobs. |

Parental
Involvement |
| |
Parental involvement
is strongly encouraged and
training programs are offered,
which enable the parents
to aid in increasing the
child’s ability to
complete leisure and domestic
routines in the home with
a greater degree of independence.
