Chicago, IL October 18, 2012

Special Learning, Inc., the leading global provider of mobile technology applications and educational resources for the autism community, announced today two new initiatives designed to increase its support of school districts, both in the US and internationally. In recognition of the sustained commitment of educators in assisting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities to have fulfilling lives, Special Learning has launched the Special Learning Give Back Program, an incentive-based initiative designed to show its support of educational entities that purchase Special Learning products for use in the classroom. The Special Learning Give Back Program was created to acknowledge the efforts of school faculty and administrators in providing educational excellence through the use of Special Learning products and services in their teaching strategies to change the lives of the individuals that they work with. Special Learning will donate 10 percent of each transaction made by educational entities on the purchase of Special Learning products back to the purchasing entity. To implement this program, Special Learning has created a new web portal to provide easy access for educators to find the necessary resources and tools to continue helping students achieve superior outcomes in education and independence. The products and services contained in this new web portal were specifically designed to be used by students with ASD while in the classroom. Purchases made through this portal will qualify for the 10 percent donation back to the school district. “Special Learning receives a great deal of support for its products from educators who seek highly effective tools to teach their students with ASD and other developmental disabilities,” said Karen Chung, founder and president of Special Learning. “Through our give back program, we believe we are looking to further support and show our commitment to our educational clients who work to provide the very best opportunities for students using the latest technology applications and resources.” Through Special Learning’s new web portal, hundreds of resources and tools are accessible to guide educators in helping their students achieve the best possible outcomes, including:

• ABA Curriculum Learning System - Teach students with ASD more effectively using our comprehensive ABA curriculum model. Learn the understanding of basic ABA programming, principles and procedures, including the foundational skills necessary to ensure proper implementation.
• Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) Classroom Programs - Provide the necessary supports to mainstream students into the traditional classroom environment.
• Educator Teaching Series - Learn how to implement effective programming in all classroom settings for children with ASD or other developmental disabilities.
