SLPs who work with autistic clients work alongside behavior teams. That's the reality in most school districts, clinics, and early intervention programs today. When you understand how the behavior team thinks, the whole treatment plan works better. Special Learning has been building ABA training resources since 2010. We serve 32,000+ customers in 140+ countries.
What we offer is cross-disciplinary professional development: the ABA literacy that makes you a stronger partner on any team treating autistic clients.
Full access to Special Learning's entire library: 159 ABA courses across 11 topic areas plus downloadable clinical tools, the ABA Glossary Complete, and the AI Knowledge Interface. One price, no per-course fees.
Get All Access Annual →Functional communication training is an ABA-based intervention. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) implementation often sits inside a behavior support plan. Mand training, tact training, and echoic training are verbal behavior concepts that map directly to the SLP's communication goals. When you know these frameworks, you're not translating. You're speaking the same language as the rest of the team.
A few things SLPs tell us shift when they build ABA literacy:
All Access Annual gives you access to Special Learning's full course library, not a subset. That includes:
This is professional development that makes the clinical work better. (These courses are professional development in ABA; Special Learning is not an ASHA CE provider, so they are not ASHA CEUs toward CCC-SLP recertification.)
Karen Chung founded Special Learning on May 15, 2010, because the training resources didn't exist. Today the platform serves practitioners across six continents. The mission is the same as it was in 2010: get evidence-based resources to every practitioner who needs them.
SLPs who co-treat autistic clients with behavior teams benefit from ABA literacy. Special Learning's library covers verbal behavior, functional communication training, reinforcement, and behavioral data collection, all relevant to SLP practice so communication goals integrate cleanly with the behavior plan.
SLPs target communication goals; behavior analysts address behavioral function and skill acquisition. Shared vocabulary around reinforcement, prompt hierarchies, and data collection reduces friction and speeds up treatment planning. ABA literacy makes that shared vocabulary possible.
The library covers ABA methodology and autism treatment science rather than SLP-specific curriculum. SLPs find it most useful for understanding the behavioral frameworks their colleagues use on shared cases.
