The Residential School is NECC’s original and largest program. With over 80
students, ages 3 to 22, from across the United States and several foreign countries,
this program operates 365 days per year. The Residential School 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. For students who require additional 1:1
staffing opportunities, we also have an Intermediate Residential program that
provides increased 1:1 staffing and increased clinical and educational supervision.

Curriculum
and Approach |
| |
While at school,
students participate in
the full scope of the NECC
curriculum of academic,
social, communication and
vocational skills as well
as physical education. In
addition, many students
are instructed in the more
traditional academic areas
of math, reading, science
and social studies. The
behavioral, data-based program
relies on positive reinforcement
techniques and all treatments
are designed to meet the
individual needs of each
child. A consultative model
is used for providing specialty
services of speech, language
and occupational and physical
therapies.

Residential
Living |
| |
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.
Our teachers work with the
students both in school
and at the residence, further
emphasizing consistency,
the feeling of safety and
ultimately contributing
to the success of the instruction.
All students in NECC’s
residential programs participate
in our comprehensive health
care program.
