The most effective treatments for autism are evidence-based, education-based treatments that help to increase communication, social, academic, and self-care skills. The most consistently effective treatments for individuals with autism are those based on an understanding of how children learn, such as Applied Behavior Analysis. MRC-NECC uses an ABA-based approach to education and treatment. Individualized goals are established for each child and the child’s progress on each goal is regularly monitored and reported to the family.
