I am also interested for my grandchild. I think the Worcester schools are overburdened but I specifically don't know about autism or any of their programs. I noticed there are a lot of ABA-based treatment programs around, but they seem kind of old school and not based on the current thinking about neurodiversity. They seem more into treating autism as a disease to be cured which is not what our family is interested in. I would love to hear what others think and also wonder what support groups are available for families. We recently relocated here from the Boston area and I can say that Central Mass is definitely behind on most everything that you would find in Boston.
