Applied Behavior Institute

The staff at ABI are skilled, dedicated and compassionate. They treat clients with respect, patience, and individualized care. The BCBA's provide strong support for both staff and families, creating an environment where growth and progress are celebrated every step of the way.

2nd home for my kids. With two kids in the spectrum ABI has helped my children so much! Progressing their communication skills, behavior skills as well as creating cognitive curriculum plans to prepare them for the future such as public school. Each BA and BT truly care for my kids and as a special needs mom, no greater feeling is to drop off your child and know that they are safe and loved. 2 years and counting at ABI! Thank you for all your help and support for my family. ❤️

The best center ever, It's the best place I've ever had for my children. I've never had support like this in my entire life. I feel very happy that my children go to this place. They are very professional and very friendly. From the moment they enter this place, my children know a lot, and when I go to pick them up, they never want to leave. They love this place, and so do I. I feel very blessed and privileged to have my children in this place.

Very organized and had after school hours. The staff working directly with the kids really care and put in the work. There is good communication across the teams. The center goes out of their way to make additional activities for the kids through the year and involve the families. It was great until it underwent a management/ leadership change. Then my child was removed from accessing services due to behavioral deregulation which he was supposed to be working on at the center. The center involved DCF after refusing to try medications for autism disorder.

Es un excelente lugar Destaca lo que hace especial al lugar y trata de compartir una característica novedosa y única.

They are a wonderful team!! My son loves going there!!

Professional, caring, encouraging , informative and respect of privacy. These are a few things you’ll find at ABI. My nonverbal grandson has been coming here for a little over a year. In that time we’ve seen nice progress… more eye contact, a lot more vocal (sounds) and socializing (where he didn’t really notice other children before he is noticing them now). Thanking the social interaction they provide with the other kiddos attending ABI. Whether we are walking in or leaving there is always a hello or bye (by his name) from all staff we pass.

My son was one of the first children to become a client of Abi New England when they open their Worcester doors. He was only 3 years old at the time now 11 years old. I used to be a very intense helicopter mom but this program has earned my trust in ways that they're not even aware of. Now I'm just an intense mom. LOL Our case manager Drew does a tremendous job of keeping me in the loop and sincerely values my feedback, opinions and concerns when it comes to my son's treatment plan. The staff who work directly with him Amanda, Haley, Damone, and Noel have all played a very very big role in my son's progress. I am so grateful for you all! Raising a child with autism is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life and I can sincerely say that I'm not sure I could have made it this far without you all! Thank you thank you thank you and many more thank yous for all you guys do!

My daughter loves coming here and the staff love my daughter! She has grown so much since starting services here. They are willing to work with school services, sit in on IEP meetings, communicate with parents about concerns/sweet moments, and are flexible with scheduling. The facility is amazing with a kitchen, gym, preschools, and outdoor playground. ABI NE was definitely the right choice for our family and daughter.
