Caldwell College in Essex County offers the only Ph.D. program in New Jersey in applied behavior analysis, or ABA, the most widely-accepted evidence-based early intervention approach to teaching children with autism to maximize their potential. When it comes to autism education, Caldwell College offers one-stop shopping: the academics and degree programs, an autism research lab and a clinical program in which real children, like four-year-old Rowan Badalamenti, who’s non-verbal, are receiving real services.
Thanks NJN News for recognizing Autism month. There needs to be more awareness about this growing epidemic.
I am a graduate student in Caldwell’s ABA program. If you want some more information about the Caldwell College program check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LljIfHB0eSs
