The program is informed by the ACE curriculum developed by educators, behavior analysts, and researchers from the New England Center for Children (NECC). The ACE curriculum addresses a wide array of skills including communication, school success, daily living skills, and socialization as well as transitioning to adulthood and job readiness training.s

How is the social development program delivered?

The social development program is delivered through a combination of individual and group sessions. Our team will teach the skill, model the skill, practice the skill with the child, have children practice together, achieve mastery, and generalize the lessons to the home setting.
