Level 1 ABA Online Training Course
Latisha Humphries, BCBA
This was the best supervision period I had by far! I have learned so much from my supervisor! She cared for the areas that I wanted to cover in the BCBA task list and took every effort to ensure that the execution of our plans stayed in cue. I’m very thankful that I’ve been introduced to the Special- Learning site. It will always have a place on my toolbar! Read more “Latisha Humphries, BCBA”
Kinga M. Coubard, Ph.D
I loved the course (Level 3) it was a very good summary for me, but I also learned a lot of new concepts and ideas concerning implementation of different techniques. I found homework part very useful and prefer this form of accessing skills, compared to multiple choice tests. And I cannot wait for more training possibilities with Special Learning!

Corinna Bradley, Developmental Services Worker
“I am a developmental services worker and I am currently working on expanding my knowledge and become well known with autism and the strategies available. Not only will I be working in an environment within the community but I also have family and friends with autistic children and they’ve benefitted from the little amount of ideas I’ve offered this far through special learning and ABA. I have found special learning to be a great online educational source. I am very thrilled with the individuals running it as well as how easy navigation is.” Read more “Corinna Bradley, Developmental Services Worker”
Anna Lopareva, Parent (Russia)
“I decided to take a course on ABA because I wanted to know more on how to work with him, cause really there is no professional services for him over here, the parents here are mostly on their own. I am very happy I found your training course! It’s awesome! I am learning a lot of new things and I am also seeing so many mistakes I have been doing while working with my son. I also have a lot of references that I can go to look for more answers. Thank you so much for everything!” Read more “Anna Lopareva, Parent (Russia)”
Dr. Aniqa Haider, Parent/Child Specialist (Pakistan)
“Frankly speaking it’s not only an incentive to go ahead and learn more with each of the post test rather it is very helpful for us. Although I have already studied lot of things while I was teaching my child but keeping in touch with sessions of special learning made my concepts more clear and most of my confusions were settled. People like me who are eager to know solutions of their child behavior and have potential to learn, find this program a blessing. It is worthy in all its contents.” Read more “Dr. Aniqa Haider, Parent/Child Specialist (Pakistan)”

Fedelynne Joy Bengay, SPED Teacher
“Thank you very much. I am looking forward to ABA level 2 which I am currently signed up and hopefully ABA level 3. I am very satisfied with the way the modules are presented and the tests that follows. I find it is more satisfying to study online then in a regular workshop because retention is better and the focus is there plus you can take it anytime you are free and relaxed. I also appreciate the references noted at the end of each presentation. I am a very happy client and looking forward to more programs in the future.” Read more “Fedelynne Joy Bengay, SPED Teacher”

We are working with the same goals in mind and understand everything our therapist is urging us all to do! Some of the strategies that are great for all learners are also creeping into regular classroom interactions – the Natural Environment Training is particularly meaningful for us in our inclusion program. Its been a valuable investment for our school!” Read more “Andrea Rosinger, Principal (Germany)”

Thank you for offering these learning opportunities online. Read more “Adora Hinrich, Autism EA”
Morgan Gravely, Parent
“I had the best experience taking this ABA Training Course. What I appreciated the most was the support from staff, information provided and how it allowed you to work at your own pace. After the first session, I anxiously anticipated the next and the next lesson. Before I knew it, I had completed the entire course in less than 1 month. I look forward to implementing the skills I learned not only with my place of employment but in my personal life as I have a 15 year-old son with Autism. I have been impacted by this for 15 years and honestly NOW I am able to understand the challenges/deficits my son exhibits and how to deal with them accordingly to see positive results, thanks to this training. I have already told my family members, friends and how amazing the training was that they too have become interested. I can’t thank you guys enough.

“I am an social educator in Iceland. I live in a small fishing village and have been working in a kindergarten and mostly been working with children with autism. For the last 4 years, I have been working with ABA. I found that it was difficult to get better education in ABA, so I began to browse the internet to find more information and to learn more about ABA. I found the special learning site, and have since completed ABA 1 and ABA 2. These courses have helped me a lot in my work. I also have access to the library and I can browse there when I need. It is very good to have access to your site for training and information.” Read more “Hlíf Hrólfsdóttir, Social Educator (Iceland)”

The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and provided an abundance of resource materials for further research. The video clips embedded throughout the sessions were pertinent and modeled appropriate strategies. Feedback from the Special Learning staff was timely and professional. What else can I say? It is a wonderful value for the money.” Read more “Eileen Ouellette, BCBA”

The courses helped me see where all the pieces and parts of ABA fit together into a bigger picture. It really crystallized things for me. I am now able to better help my sons and more easily do additional research to learn more given that I have a better grasp of the field.” Read more “Nancy L. Scimeca, Parent”
Andrea Van Boven, Lead Speech-Language Pathologist
“I truly enjoyed the course and learned so many things that I was immediately able to put into practice! As an SLP in a pediatric private practice, I work with many children on the autism spectrum. Though I am not in a classroom (anymore – I used to be school-based) I found the course to be rich with strategies and tools I can use daily. I also appreciated the presentation of the research behind the methods/techniques. Knowing that there is solid research behind what I am doing is very important me. Thanks again for a great course. I am certainly more confident in the things I do with my clients!” Read more “Andrea Van Boven, Lead Speech-Language Pathologist”
Roslyn Fleay, Special Needs Center Director (Australia)
“We had one of those magic moments on Friday – My assistant was working with a student and had begun the session with a ‘pairing’ focus. The child was very unhappy and at one point was throwing himself to the floor at which stage I asked the assistant “Are you instructing or Pairing” She replied “I’m good – I am pairing.” I let them be and 5 minutes later I could hear the child laughing and responding to instructions and WOW it was so worth the effort…” Read more “Roslyn Fleay, Special Needs Center Director (Australia)”
