A Letter from Our Founder

Sixteen years ago, I sat across from two BCBAs at an Autism Society event and learned about Applied Behavior Analysis for the first time. I learned how effective it was. And I learned something that stopped me cold: at that time, there were only 16,200 BCBAs in the entire world. That meant more than 95% of the people who needed ABA could not access it. I founded Special Learning because I believed technology could close that gap. That is the problem we are solving, one tool, one guide, one answer at a time.
