V-CAT: Virtual Consultation, Assessment and Therapy
End-to-end remote ABA therapy from Special Learning. Start with a free 60-minute consultation.
What is V-CAT?
V-CAT is Special Learning's comprehensive remote ABA therapy program. Unlike a single consultation or a course you take on your own, V-CAT is a full therapy program delivered virtually by BACB-certified behavior analysts.
The program includes:
- Initial assessment to understand your child's needs, strengths, and challenges
- Individualized treatment plan developed by your assigned BCBA
- Ongoing therapy sessions delivered through secure video
- Caregiver training so you can implement strategies between sessions
- Regular progress monitoring with data-driven adjustments to the treatment plan
Free 60-Minute Initial Consultation
Every V-CAT engagement starts with a free 60-minute consultation with a BCBA. During this session, we:
- Listen to your concerns and goals
- Discuss your child's current situation
- Explain how V-CAT works and what to expect
- Determine whether V-CAT is the right fit for your family
- Answer any questions you have about ABA therapy
There is no obligation after the consultation. If V-CAT is not the right fit, we will point you toward other resources that might help.
Request Your Free ConsultationWhy Remote ABA Therapy?
Many families do not have access to quality ABA providers in their area. Others prefer the advantages of therapy delivered in the home environment:
- Natural environment. Your BCBA observes and addresses behaviors where they actually happen, not in a clinic setting.
- No travel. Sessions happen at home. No driving, no waiting rooms, no schedule disruptions.
- Caregiver involvement. Parents and caregivers are part of every session, building skills they use every day.
- Access. V-CAT is available internationally. Families in 140+ countries can access BACB-certified expertise regardless of local provider availability.
Who V-CAT Is For
- Families of children with autism or developmental disabilities
- Families in areas without local ABA providers
- Families who want therapy in their home environment
- International families seeking BACB-certified expertise
- Organizations that want remote clinical support for their staff
