Program Assessments and Curriculum

Know what your program needs.
Then build or buy exactly that.

We help provider agencies, adult day training programs, and residential facilities assess, design, and implement programs that are inclusive, accessible, and evidence-based.

  • 35+ organizations served

    Goodwill Dallas, Best Buddies Florida, Ken's Krew, and more

  • Built for your budget

    Project-based pricing for orgs that can't afford a full design team

  • Lived experience

    Our leadership team includes an autism parent and a neurodiverse sibling, not just consultants

Where science meets program design

We’re bringing the science of organizational and behavior analysis directly into how we assess programs and build curriculum.

This means every assessment conducted, every gap identified, and every program built is grounded in evidence-based workforce science, not guesswork.

Program Assessments + Curriculum

We customize our solutions for every client we work with to ensure optimal systems, tools, and design for scalability and sustainability.

Track 1

Programs Assessment and Reporting

Before you build or buy anything, you need to understand:

  • What your program actually requires

  • What tasks your staff and clients perform

  • Where the knowledge and skill gaps are

  • What evidence you need to show funders

This is the organizational psychology foundation that makes everything else work.

    • Identifies where visual job aids are most needed

    • Foundation for all curriculum and training development

    • Reduces bias in job expectation and training design

    • Participant outcomes visualized for grant reporting

    • Program reach, demographics, and measurable results

    • Designed to strengthen renewals and new applications

    • Stakeholder interviews and material review

    • Gap analysis with prioritized recommendations

    • Scopes the right next steps

    • Baseline assessment of current staff tasks

    • Performance gap analysis with prioritized training needs

    • Informs whether Track 2 or Track 3 is the right fit

Track 2

Off-the-Shelf Curricula

Not every organization needs to build from scratch. When you need curriculum now, not weeks or months later, NCS's partnership with Morse Consulting Group gives you 500+ visual, implementation-ready lessons for neurodiverse learners.

What’s included in every lesson:

  • Slide deck. Open and teach immediately.

  • Facilitator scripts with delivery guidance for any staff

  • 100% visual supports, image-based no text walls

  • White-label available. Brand it as your own.

Sample lesson topics:

  • Workplace Readiness

  • Career Exploration & Employment Skills

  • Customer Service

  • Hospitality Industry

  • Retail Industry

  • Independent Living

  • and more

Track 3

Program Development

Your population is specific. Your setting is real. Your goals don't fit a template.

When off-the-shelf curriculum can't meet what your program actually needs, NCS builds it from the ground up. Every deliverable is designed from a systematic assessment of your program's actual requirements, not adapted from something built for someone else.

  • The Environment:

    • Visual room layout with furniture and equipment placement

    • Recommended materials list with budget-friendly options

    • Visual signage templates for the space (quiet room rules, communication supports)

    • Staff protocol guide: how to manage the space and support visitors using it

  • The Program:

    • Full curriculum scope: modules, learning objectives, and activity sequence

    • Visual lesson slides: 100% image-based, plain language, no text walls

    • Participant workbooks and visual handouts

    • Assessment tools

  • The Participant:

    • Venue walkthrough narrative: entrance, ticketing, main spaces, exits

    • Sensory Map: lighting, noise levels, crowd density, smells, quiet room location, who to ask for help

    • Visual schedule of the visit or event sequence

    • Print-ready PDF + QR-accessible digital version

  • The People Delivering It:

    • Neurodiversity awareness guide: plain language visual overview for any staff level

    • Scenario-based training: activity — "how would you respond?" with visual prompts

    • Communication support guide: strategies to interact with visitors

    • Facilitator guide so any manager can run the training without specialist support
