WHO WE ARE

Commitment to Social Responsibility

Special Learning takes our leadership role very seriously by taking action to give back to the global community. We hold ourselves accountable for the company’s impact on the environmental and social well-being of all those we seek to help.

Our planned strategies and actions focus on providing the skills, knowledge, and training that is required to alleviate a significant global challenge. That challenge, in short, is the tens of millions of individuals on the autism spectrum who lack sufficient ways and means to access a critical, life-changing autism intervention called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

ABA is the only evidence-based intervention proven to allow children on the autism spectrum to mainstream. Although grounded in behavioral science, simple ABA methods can be taught to family members, teachers, and others so that every child can have access to this life-changing intervention.

Special Learning offers the global community a comprehensive array of affordable autism resources to virtually anyone with an internet connection. This world-wide focus is the foundation of Special Learning’s commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of millions of people – those on the spectrum, their families and others who provide love, care, and support.

The Four Pillars of Our Efforts

  1. People- We always strive to represent the richness of the global community that we serve. Special Learning’s inclusive culture is one in which all team members are respected for their unique talents, backgrounds, and experiences. We recognize that innovative ideas can come from any person, regardless of their role, so we encourage each team member to share his/her voice and empower them to do what is best for our clients.
  2. Ethics– Ethics are the cornerstone of Special Learning. Unquestionably, we expect every member of our organization, partners, and affiliates to operate with the highest level of ethical and moral standards every day. Ethics permeate every aspect of our business. We hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure that our products and services are designed to produce the best quality outcomes. We believe that it is our duty and responsibility to promote and educate the global autism and special needs community on how the Ethics Code is practiced and enforced. We do this by partnering with world-renowned experts to shape the consciousness of practitioners, and to ensure that ethical practice is the norm, not the exception.
  3. Community– Special Learning proactively searches for every opportunity to advance the greatest good for our clients and associates in the nearly 100 countries in which we do business. We understand the need to tailor our solutions to best meet the unique needs and opportunities in the countries in which we operate. Translating our solutions into different languages and adjusting our pricing model for developing countries are only a few ways in which we demonstrate our understanding and show our commitment to the global community.
  4. Economic– One of Special Learning’s core values is to bring accessible and affordable quality autism resources to those in need. As we continue to extend our reach, Special Learning looks for ways to leverage our experience and influence in order to bring even greater economic value to current and prospective clients and the global community at large.

Journey to Independence

Community-based program designed to support families on waitlist

Being an RBT for me was extremely fun because where were you going to find a place where you can be completely silly without having to worry what people thought about you? This was the only job that made me feel like I could make a dramatic difference while being myself.

I also liked to be surrounded by people that had the same goals of wanting to help kids and the teamwork made the job much easier and more enjoyable.

Change and progress was the ultimate goal for our kiddos. The early intervention program was seriously only a miracle because I saw changes in the kiddos that from day one, you wouldn’t even recognize who they were.

Changes from being able to utter 3-4 words where they can only make a syllable from when they started, the behavior decreases in which kiddo that used to engage in 30-40 0 self-harm to only half, learning how to wait during games, table work where they use to swipe and drop to the floor if they had to.

My favorite was when the parents would tell us what amazing progress they were making at home. I used to tear up and felt for these parents so much because it was already difficult for them and now, they can trust and rely on ABA and the therapists knowing their goal was ours.
