As a dissemination site of Princeton Child Development Institute ( PCDI ), a world leader in research and autism treatment, Somerset Hills Learning Institute employs the curriculum proven to teach children the functional skills they need to succeed at home, at play, at school and in the workforce. The institute delivers a unique blend of science and compassion to meet the needs of each of its students.

For the community, it means savings millions of dollars in long-term care and financial support. In fact, with the recent graduation of its third student back to the public schools, Somerset Hills Learning Institute has saved taxpayers over $17 million. For school districts, it alleviates exorbitant costs for training, manpower and resources. But for families, the results are priceless. Somerset Hills Learning Institute gives them back what they've lost...their children.

“Our son’s autism affected everything we did. When or if we sat down to dinner. Whether we could go out. When we could sleep. If we could leave for work. Somerset Hills Learning Institute changed all that.”
