All Access - Annual

Some recordings in this collection mention APA continuing-education credit. That credit is not available: Special Learning is not an APA-approved sponsor today. The credit for each session is only what this page lists.

Autism and ABA training, online books and downloadable materials in one All Access Library. $299 for 12 months.

Take the CE you need, then keep going. The sessions that carry BACB CE credit are inside, including 7 hours of Ethics CE across 6 sessions and 16.0 hours of Supervision CE across 8 sessions. A BCBA's two-year cycle asks for 4 in ethics and 3 in supervision (for supervisors); the BACB's 2027 requirements raise supervision to 4. Already taken one of these trainings for credit? Swap it for one you have not.

Who it is for. A BCBA who wants one place for a whole cycle and the tools behind it. A school or clinic that trains new staff every quarter. A family that wants the same material the professionals use.

Twelve months of access.

Field-tested autism tools and training — in one library. 116 expert-built sessions and 11 books, plus downloadable tools and materials. 12 months unlimited access.

Field-tested tools and training — in one library. Visual schedules, data sheets, step-by-step programs, and 116 expert-built video sessions, created by clinicians who run real sessions. They work at home, in the classroom, and in the clinic. One price. One library. A full year.

Parents and caregivers building routines, communication, and independence at home
Teachers and school teams who need classroom-ready visuals and behavior tools
RBTs and BCBAs who want original training and session-ready materials
Agency owners and clinical directors equipping whole teams without buying course-by-course

How It Works

Browse the catalog of 116 expert-built sessions and 11 books. Choose what matches your goals — your child's next milestone, your classroom, your caseload, your team. Access your selections for 12 full months, on any device. No per-course fees. No expiration surprises mid-cycle.

Built by People Who Do This Work

Special Learning has spent 16 years building this training — courses developed with field-leading experts including Dr. Peter Gerhardt (transition planning), Dr. Jon Bailey (ethics), Ann Beirne, Michele LaMarche, and dozens more practitioners and researchers. Original courses. Not repackaged conference talks.

Continuing Education, When You Need It

CE-eligible for BCBAs. If you hold a BACB credential, All Access includes every course in our catalog that is eligible for BACB Type 2 CE credit. Printable CEU certificates on demand (score 80% or higher to unlock), with CEU processing included — the credits accumulate while you learn what you actually wanted to learn. Under 80%, take the quiz again; there is no limit on retakes. You add the CEUs to your BACB account yourself and upload our certificate; we don't report them to the BACB for you.

Special Learning is a BACB Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) Provider (OP-14-2437). Authorization as an ACE Provider does not imply endorsement or approval of the ACE event content by the BACB.

How Is This Different from the CE Library?

The CE Library ($199 for 12 months) is a pre-curated set of CE courses chosen to cover common BCBA renewal needs — courses only. All Access is all 116 sessions plus the 11 books and the downloadable tools and printables the CE Library does not include, chosen by you.

CEUs claimed on any training can only be claimed once. Each purchase corresponds to 1 user license. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board ("BACB") does not sponsor, approve, or endorse Special Learning, the materials, information, or sessions identified herein.

Pennsylvania IBHS practitioners: restraint techniques described in some recordings are restricted or prohibited in PA (55 Pa. Code § 5240.6(a)).
