Princeton Child Development Institute

Princeton Child Development Institute International leader and pioneer in Applied Behavior Analysis research, program development, and dissemination.

Opening the world for a lifetime of learning and happiness. PCDI's programs teach young children to talk, play with siblings and friends, and read and write. Adolescents continue academic and work-study programs while learning to participate in their homes and communities. Adults perfect skills that allow them to maintain jobs and achieve greater levels of independence. Because autism knows no national or cultural boundaries, PCDI shares its pioneering programs, technology, and research with professionals in the US and abroad so that all people who struggle with autism may benefit.

Wondering where the summer went? We’ve been too busy having fun to notice!

Over the past three weeks, our campus was filled with students, peer volunteers, junior counselors, college interns, and special guests.

🎨 Week 1, Art Antics, had us painting, photographing, sculpting, and singing about our "True Colors" with . 🌎 Week 2, Nature Networks, took us from deserts and jungles to forests, oceans, and tundra—with a special visit from where we got to see and pet exotic animals! 🌈 We closed out Summer Wonders with a Classic Camp week full of giant lawn games, acting lessons, a color run, and all the camp-style fun we could fit into one week!

We are so grateful to our interns, volunteers, staff, and PCDI community who helped create these opportunities for connection and friendship. We're already looking forward to our WonderDay Pop-Ups this fall.

Five years of Summer Wonders! ☀️💙

PCDI’s inclusive summer program has brought together neurodiverse and neurotypical children and teens for a summer filled with learning, fun, connection, and friendship.

We’re thrilled to expand the program to 3 weeks this year! That means more opportunities to build meaningful friendships through intentional recreational and educational activities—and, of course, some special shared events along the way. 🌟

A huge thank you to the TJX Foundation for the generous grant that helped make this expansion possible! We’re so grateful for their support of inclusive opportunities for children and teens.

And this is just the beginning… stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes Summer Wonders fun! 📸☀️

Welcome to Dani Drive! 💙

Each year at our Spring Sensations Gala, we auction off the chance to rename the PCDI Circle for the year — and thanks to this year's winning bidder, our campus is now home to Dani Drive!

While the name may change from year to year, the generosity behind it doesn't. Thank you to our incredible community of supporters for helping each of our students find their path at PCDI!
