The EASTCONN Autism Program (EAP), located in Columbia, CT, provides a regionally based, comprehensive, integrated service program for students with autism and other low-incidence disabilities in grades PreK-12. The program is characterized by a structured, intensive, individualized approach to instruction based on the principles of applied behavioral analysis (ABA).
