By: The New England Center for Children NECC's Summer Internship Program is the largest of its type in the country. This past summer 47 students from 13 states and three foreign countries completed a 10-week paid internship program. The interns worked side-by-side with direct-care staff in the day school and residences, as well as in the Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language departments. "Introducing our interns to ABA and the great work NECC does is crucial to the future of the human services industry," said Ellen Graham, MA, CAGS, program director of graduate studies and internships at NECC. NECC's Internship Program includes both didactic course work and supervised practicum experiences. Trainees learn theoretical and practical applications of behavior techniques, how to develop an educational curriculum, and behavior management programming.
