Manhattan Childrens Center

Manhattan Childrens Center (MCC) is a specialized private school in New York City serving children and young adults aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related neurodiversities. The center utilizes a Transdisciplinary Behavioral Model, which integrates educational and therapeutic services to meet the unique developmental needs of each student. The school provides a supportive environment designed to foster both academic progress and social-emotional growth.

The center offers tiered levels of support, including an ABA 1:1 Classroom Model for intensive individualized instruction in academic, self-management, and verbal behavior skills, as well as a 2:1 Crossbridge Program designed to bridge the gap between intensive settings and traditional classrooms. Comprehensive therapeutic services are integrated into the curriculum, including speech and language therapy to enhance communication, occupational therapy for sensory integration and fine motor skills, and weekly social skills groups to promote peer interaction and inclusion.

MCC is committed to a collaborative approach, maintaining ongoing communication between educators, service providers, and families. Beyond student programming, the center provides essential family programs and resources to help parents navigate the complexities of special needs education.
