Speech Professionals

Welcome to the new and improved Special Learning website. As a Speech professional you are likely faced with the challenge of trying to help your clients, while struggling to collaborate with the other professionals working with your clients. We provide trainings to help you build your knowledge base. One such training program specifically focuses on how SLPs and BCBAs can collaborate to improve their clients’ skills. The first step in finding ways to help your client is gaining valuable information about your client’s specific needs. Our trainings can offer you insight into this special population and provide suggestions and tools to help them achieve their potential.
Whether you are just starting the process of gathering information about autism, or looking for more in-depth ABA training to allow you to be as effective as possible, Special Learning has a training program that can help. We have trainings that discuss functional communication training and how to use communication apps and devices for clients. Learning the ABA terminology will allow you to be a more active participant in IEP meetings. You will also become a valuable resource to parents seeking to navigate the challenging world of special needs education. We are constantly looking for ways to meet those needs, so please contact us if you have requests for additional training areas or suggestions for ways to better meet your needs.

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.
