Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2011
Special Learning, Inc., an online comprehensive Autism solutions company, today announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Step By Step Academy (SBSA), a highly regarded Autism treatment center in Columbus, Ohio.
Autism is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent disorders affecting children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2010), Autism affects 1 in 110 children in the United States alone. Various research articles estimate growth rates of 10 to 17% annually, which means Autism is reaching epidemic proportions.
While the need for effective Autism products and services continue to grow, there is a critical shortage of information, tools and therapeutic solutions available to families affected by ASD. Global standards for interventions and consistent delivery of therapies are not yet established, while the rapidly increasing number of diagnosed children is already exceeding the supply of qualified providers trained in effectively teaching critical life skills to children with ASD.
This issue of the shortage and lack of access to qualified behavior therapists and educators is the problem that Special Learning is solving with support from its exceptional network of industry partners. By partnering with SBSA and strategically leveraging their clinical expertise, Special Learning will continue to create Autism solutions firmly grounded in ABA, supported by ongoing research and clinical application.
Special Learning and SBSA are very excited about this partnership and their ability to rapidly develop ABA Solutions to positively impact the lives of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across the globe.
