The Princeton Child Development Institute, founded in 1970, is a private, nonprofit program offering a broad spectrum of science-based services to children, youths, and adults with autism. The Institute not only provides quality treatment, education, and professional training and mentoring in New Jersey, but through its research, has pioneered comprehensive intervention models that are used nationally and internationally for the benefit of persons with autism.
These programs teach young children to talk, play with siblings and friends, and read and write.
Adolescents continue academic and work-study programs while learning to participate in their homes and communities.
Adults perfect skills that allow them to maintain jobs and achieve greater levels of independence.
