The system won’t recognize my access code.

All access codes are case sensitive, make sure that you type in the exact access code as shown in the email.  We suggest you copy and paste the code and make sure that there are no extra spaces before and after the code. 

I just purchased the full course but when I go to the Courses Page it says that my subscription has expired.

This happens when you have previously signed up for the free trial and have not yet registered the access code for the full course to your account.  To reset the expiration date, copy the access code from the email that was sent to you (the same access code is also shown on the order history on your main dashboard), click the Online Courses tab, click the “Add Course” button on upper right portion of the page, and paste the access code on the respective field. After successfully applying the code, you will be redirected to the ABA Course registration page.  Fill in the form (most of the fields will be auto-filled) and click “Submit”.  An automated email with the instructions for the course will be sent to your registered email address. 

I cannot log in to my account. I get this error message when I try to log in: “invalid username or password”

Usually, this is because your account is still inactive. You need to click the link in the automated email that was sent to you right after you created your account or right after you completed your purchase. You won’t be able to log in until you’ve completed the confirmation process.  Any attempts to reset your password before account activation will also not work.  In case you’re still not able to access your account after you’ve clicked the activation link, kindly contact us at contact@special-learning.com to request for account activation. We suggest you use the subject line: “Activate Account / Resend Access Code”.  In cases where you’ve already created an account using a different email address prior to making your purchase, or you indicated an email address on the shopping cart order form different from what you intended to use in accessing the course, please email us at contact@special-learning.com to have your account updated. You can use the subject line:  “Change Email Address” 

How do I upload my CEUs on the BACB website?

After completing your continuing education courses, you must report your BCBA Continuing Education Credits to the BACB. You can do this online by following these simple instructions.  Step 1: Log In at www.BACB.com. You can log in directly from the BACB’s homepage by clicking on the “Access/Create Account” box. If you don’t already have an account, you can register online.  Step 2: Click on the ‘Continuing Education’ tab and click on the link titled “Manage CEs.”  Step 3: Scroll to the bottom and click the button “Add a CE.” You cannot aggregate all of your continuing education credits into one record. Please complete a separate entry for each CE title you complete.  Step 4: Next, scroll down and select “Type.”  Step 5: Under the “Provider/University” section, please type out the CE Provider name.  Step 6: Type in the number of BCBA continuing education hours you completed for that particular course.  Step 7: Because three (3) Ethics credits are required, the BACB tracks these credits separately. If you are recording an Ethics CE course, be sure to enter the number of hours taken in the box labeled “Ethics and Professional Behavior Hours.” If you are recording a course that was not approved for Ethics credits, enter “0” into the box.  Step 8: Enter the date you started the BCBA continuing education course, as well as the date you completed the CE course.  Step 9: Type the “Event Title” into the box provided. This will be the title of the BCBA continuing education course you attended.  Step 10: Enter the location you received the BCBA continuing education credits. Note, if you received your credits from an online course, please enter “Online.”  Step 11: List the instructor/s who led your course. If you attended an online course, you can also enter the organization’s name as the instructor (e.g., Special Learning).  Step 12: Type in “Provider Number“; the number is usually listed on your training receipt and/or certificate of completion. If you are training with Special Learning, our number is OP-14-2437.  Step 13: Click ‘Save’ and your BCBA continuing education course history should be listed in your account immediately.  Helpful Hint: Even though you have uploaded your CE records online, don’t throw your paper copies away. The BACB can conduct a CE audit anytime and you want to keep all documentation in case this happens to you!  Step 14: Keep track of your CEs. To maintain your certification with the BACB, you must complete a certain number of CEs every two years.

Journey to Independence

Community-based program designed to support families on waitlist

Being an RBT for me was extremely fun because where were you going to find a place where you can be completely silly without having to worry what people thought about you? This was the only job that made me feel like I could make a dramatic difference while being myself.

I also liked to be surrounded by people that had the same goals of wanting to help kids and the teamwork made the job much easier and more enjoyable.

Change and progress was the ultimate goal for our kiddos. The early intervention program was seriously only a miracle because I saw changes in the kiddos that from day one, you wouldn’t even recognize who they were.

Changes from being able to utter 3-4 words where they can only make a syllable from when they started, the behavior decreases in which kiddo that used to engage in 30-40 0 self-harm to only half, learning how to wait during games, table work where they use to swipe and drop to the floor if they had to.

My favorite was when the parents would tell us what amazing progress they were making at home. I used to tear up and felt for these parents so much because it was already difficult for them and now, they can trust and rely on ABA and the therapists knowing their goal was ours.
