We hope to see you in Boston for the Profound Autism Summit on April 16–17!

“Profound Autism” refers to individuals whose autism is accompanied by intellectual disability, limited language, and the need for 24/7 support.

At Nashoba Learning Group, we are proud to serve this important and often underrepresented segment—estimated to be 26% of the autism population—by providing highly individualized programs tailored to each person’s unique strengths and needs.

Join us at the Summit to learn, connect, and be part of advancing understanding and support for individuals with profound autism.

The Summit was created by Nashoba Learning Group (NLG), in collaboration with the Profound Autism Alliance (PAA).

Katie Steer a Beverly resident whose son attends Kevin O'Grady School has advocated for School Zone signage in the area of the school. Hoping to get drivers to slow down and make walking safer at school pick up/drop off, she appealed to the city of Beverly to create a School Safety Zone. Several other parents wrote letters in support and Julie Flowers for Beverly City Council At-Large helped move things along. Well, the signs are finally up! Thanks to Katie and everyone else who helped to make this happen! NEC parents are amazing advocates for their children and the NEC community!
