I am a paraprofessional for a young girl who is non-verbal and has Autism. I want to learn everything I can to help my student succeed in the public school system. I found Special Learning’s ABA level 1 course so fascinating and inspiring. Prior to the course, I recognized that the relationships of courses are important, but learning why it is so important made perfect sense and such an ahh ha moment. I have been in special education for 19 years and for the first time I feel like I may have found my niche. I thank you for this online course and for giving me an introduction to ABA.
I enjoyed the ABA Online course. I would definitely consider taking future courses. - Maura Crowley, Paraprofessional Sped
I am a special education teacher and I believe that if I have a better understanding of ABA then I will be more prepared to meet the needs of my students. I took the first ABA course with you and I found the training very helpful, so it seemed like the logical step was to take the second part of the course. - Michele Savarese, SPED Teacher
I just completed the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) 20 hour course on line. I found it challenging, comprehensive and thorough. My only regret is that I didn't take it while I was a full time special education teacher. I'm now retired and embarking on a career in Early Intervention. I'm "armed and ready" to do what I can for my students. I definitely recommend this course to all special education teachers. - Jo-Ann Demas, Special Educator
The short course was informative and would definitely be back to take other courses if ever I would be needing more. - Mckaye Lacap, SPED Teacher
What it is, and what it isn't
It's an introduction to ABA for the adults who work beside students every day. It is not RBT certification training, and it carries no BACB CE.
