Practice · Education
The whole journey,
not one stop on it.
Autism and ABA education for the people living it and the professionals who serve them — from the first week after a diagnosis to the credential a practitioner needs.
What it is
Special Learning was founded in 2010 and has served more than 20,500 people across over 140 countries. It is our founding business and the reason the rest of the group exists.
The catalogue runs the length of one person's journey. Free resources for a family in week one. Structured skill programmes. Training for technicians entering the field. Continuing education for practitioners who already hold the credential. Special Learning is a BACB Authorized Continuing Education provider, OP-14-2437.
Why it is built that way
In autism, the audiences are not separate people. The same person is a parent first, then a technician, then a supervisor, then someone running an agency. A catalogue organised by credential makes them start over at every stage. Ours is organised by where they are.
What you get
Courses and libraries you keep access to, assessments that mean something, and certificates that land in a wallet rather than a folder of PDFs. Organisations can buy for a team and track completion centrally.

Questions we get asked
Is Special Learning an approved continuing education provider?
Special Learning is a BACB Authorized Continuing Education provider, authorization OP-14-2437. That is a BACB authorization specifically; it is not an APA sponsorship.
Who is Special Learning for — families or professionals?
Both, deliberately. In autism the same person is often a parent first, then a technician, then a supervisor. The catalogue is organised by where someone is in that journey rather than by credential, so nobody has to start over at each stage.
How long has Special Learning been operating?
Since 2010. It has served more than 20,500 people across over 140 countries.
Can an organisation buy for a whole team?
Yes — organisations can purchase for a team and track completion centrally.
