Autism
Coalition for Research and Education
The Autism Coalition
for Research and Education (ACRE) made
a grant to The New England Center for
Children to fund the development of
a curriculum database tool for educating
students at NECC. The curriculum intranet
provides 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.
Along with each curriculum sheet comes
the ability to summarize student performance
data online, to access the programmed
stimuli like Mayer Johnson symbols and
to eventually view a video of specific
teaching procedures. Plans for future
dissemination are underway. This is
the first grant that NECC has received
from the ACRE. |
