Are there any autism centers in Massachusetts?

I am planning to move to Boston this summer or fall and was wondered if that state had any centers. I currently work as a teacher's assistant at a special needs school for children with autism. Wanted to know if I could find something similar to what I do now in Massachusetts?

http://nashobalearninggroup.org/ Nashoba Learning Group is a non-profit school for children with autism with a good reputation. Here is another one: http://www.bostonhigashi.org/services.php?id=3 There are probably several depending upon how far you're willing to travel. You might want to use www.indeed.com and do a job search with just the word "autism" and see what's available now, to give you a better idea of what might be out there later. I'd also look at http://www.schoolspring.com/ if you haven't already, since they're jobs in education. You can also look at the public school system. I live right on the border of Mass (Nashua, NH) and my son is in public school in a class where every student has autism. They each have one-on-one paraprofessionals/teacher aides. That's common around here. (I'm not sure what region you're in now, but I know it's not common everywhere).
