 Frequently,
NECC staff members present their research
to educators, parents, psychologists and
others interested in the field of Autism
and related disorders. Speaking at regional,
national, and international conferences,
NECC’s staff shares our latest applied
research findings based on our work with
children with Autism. Not only does this
allow us to share valuable information with
other professionals in our field, but it
also serves to fortify NECC’s standing
as one of the world’s leading centers
for research on Autism.
