For payers and health plans
Train the autism workforce in your network to one standard, and see who finished.
Medicaid managed-care plans, state developmental-disability agencies and health plans with autism benefits pay for services delivered by behavior technicians, aides and caregivers. Those teams change often, and their training varies from one provider to the next. Special Learning has trained people who work with autistic children and their families since 2010.
What you can buy today
- Seats for a team, not one login. A plan, or the providers in its network, buys seats on an online course. Each person gets their own login and a dated certificate of completion, and the buyer can see who finished.
- Level 1 ABA Online Training Course, for groups. Nine sessions that a learner can start today, each with its own quiz, then a final exam. $99 a seat. It is not an RBT certification course, and its certificate does not support an RBT application.
- Training built to your plan's own standard, drawn from more than 700 recorded sessions, guides and study companions, and priced per group.

I enjoyed the ABA Online course. I would definitely consider taking future courses. - Maura Crowley, Paraprofessional Sped
I wish to thank you for providing sure a rich and detailed program and thereby building noteworthy professionals. - John Dayo, Nuero-Developmental/Autism Specialist, ABA Supervisor
At the end I must say thank you for standing beside me I really felt strong in managing my autism child while I was getting training from Special Learning . I would love to be an active part of it and contribute maximum in my capacity for a noble cause. - Aniqa Haider, Parent/Child Specialist
I decided to take a course on ABA cause 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 to look for more answers. Thank you so much for everything! - Anna Lopareva, Parent
The four that gave fewer than 5 stars
Three people gave Level 1 four stars and one gave it one. Each names something that got in the way: slides that disappeared, videos that were quiet or would not open, terms that were new. Here they are in full.

I am learning a lot from this training. It is a lot of information to absorb, but I really like the flexibility to be able to go back to the power points if I need to. I also like the fact that I have the ability to make copies of the power points. Some of the terminology in the training was unfamiliar to me. I want to be effective in transferring the knowledge learned into practical use. It takes me some time to prepare for the post test, but I do end up understanding the concepts. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. I do believe that this training will make me a better teacher and communicator to children with autism. I can also apply these principles to anyone who would benefit from ABA therapy.
Overall, I found the course informative and well-organized. I enjoyed the lecture notes with fill in the blank. The first three lessons were challenging because the slides would disappear so I ended up with chunks of missing information. Perhaps completed lecture notes could be provided after the test has been passed? I did feel that I learned a lot and would enjoy taking another course through Special Learning. Thank you! Kind Regards. -Rachel Oakley, Teacher
Indeed sincere thanks for the program. It was really informative and interesting. The presentation and power points were clear and precise. The only suggestion is that the volume of some videos seems to be low. It would be more conveyable if its checked - Nisa Moidu, Volunteering in Psychology
The video some time can't be open
