Expansion and Increased Enrollment
Previously, CABI resided at 345A Greenwood Street, occupying an (approximate) 4,000 square foot space within Behavioral Concepts (BCI), providers of ABA Services for children and young adults with autism.
CABI recently doubled their student enrollment and the new location enables the center to expand and increase capacity. The school is now accepting applications for students ages 6 through 22 who reside in communities within a one-hour radius of Worcester.
CABI was founded in 2013 by the school’s directors, Jeffrey Robinson, Ph. D. and Brian Doyle, Ed.D., BCBA-D, who have more than 60 years of cumulative autism and ABA experience. Drs. Robinson and Doyle utilize a hands-on approach to the operation of the school and education of the students, providing direct supervision of all academic and behavioral instruction developed and implemented by the highly credentialed staff.
“Through CABI, we are able to address the needs of a population of students needing highly specialized instruction by providing the highest quality of individualized educational services,” explained Dr. Robinson, CABI Executive Director. “We are committed to maximizing each student’s potential.”
CABI’s curriculum utilizes the frameworks of Applied Behavior Analysis as the basis for its instruction. The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks are integrated into their educational approach. Students receive differentiated instruction in math, science, language arts, history and social sciences, the arts and physical education. Students at CABI receive instruction through a variety of modalities.
Classroom teachers are licensed special educators and several of the teachers are also licensed as Board Certificated Behavior Analysists. Each classroom of eight students are clinically supervised by a BCBA. In addition, CABI provides direct service and consultation by appropriately credentialed and state licensed professionals. A Speech and Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, and Registered Nurse are on-site and available to provide IEP services on a daily basis. A licensed Clinical Psychologist and Physical Therapist are available for direct and consultative services on an as needed basis.
