In customers’ own words
"I truly enjoyed the course and learned so many things that I was immediately able to put into practice! As an SLP in a pediatric private practice, I work with many children on the autism spectrum. Though I am not in a classroom (anymore- I used to be school-based) I found the course to be rich with strategies and tools I can use daily. I also appreciated the presentation of the research behind the methods/techniques. Knowing that there is solid research behind what I am doing is very important to me. Thanks again for a great course. I am certainly more confident in the things I do with my clients!" - Andrea Van Boven, Lead Speech-Language Pathologist

Erin Cotie
"I really enjoyed this course. It was very thorough and well-presented. I would have preferred to have a workbook to work along with rather than printing off pages, but other than that I thought it was very well done and incredibly educating. Thanks" - Erin Cotie, Student
Anna Oliver
"I decided to take a course on ABA cause I wanted to know more on how to work with him, cause really there is no professional services for him over here, the parents here are mostly on their own. I am very happy I found your training course! It's awesome! I am learning a lot of new things and I am also seeing so many mistakes I have been doing while working with my son. I also have a lot of references that I can go to to look for more answers. Thank you so much for everything!" - Anna Lopareva, Parent

Michele Savarese
"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
Elizabeth McPhee
"I am still working through the ABA Training Course content. I find the course to be informative and beneficial to my personal and professional knowledge and learning. I have also heard from my students with regard to how much they enjoyed the course. Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback." - Elizabeth McPhee, Teacher
Aneesa Moidoo
"Indeed sincere thanks for the program. It was really informative and interesting. The presentation and power points were clear and precise. The only suggestion is that the volume of some videos seems to be low. It would be more conveyable if its checked" - Nisa Moidu, Volunteering in Psychology
Mckaye Lacap
"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
Rachel Oakley
"Overall, I found the course informative and well-organized. I enjoyed the lecture notes with fill in the blank. The first three lessons were challenging because the slides would disappear so I ended up with chunks of missing information. Perhaps completed lecture notes could be provided after the test has been passed? I did feel that I learned a lot and would enjoy taking another course through Special Learning. Thank you! Kind Regards." -Rachel Oakley, Teacher
John Temidayo Ajimisogbe

Fedelynne Joy Bengay
"Thank you very much. I am looking forward to ABA level 2 which I am currently signed up and hopefully ABA level 3 if its discounted like ABA level 2. :) I am very satisfied with the way the modules are presented and the tests that follows. I find it is more satisfying to study online then in a regular workshop because retention is better and the focus is there plus you can take it anytime you are free and relaxed. I also appreciate the references noted at the end of each presentation. I am a very happy client and looking forward to more programs in the future." - Fedelynne Joy Bengay, Sped Teacher

"I just loved the whole course so much. Every session was delivered in such a precise way that was so easy to fathom. Loved the last two sessions in particular because of video examples for each strategy. It became much easy by then." - Nida Sadar, Parent
Jo-Ann Demas
"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
Maja Nikolov
"I enjoyed the course. It was very informative, educational, and very well presented. I do feel that I learned a great deal from the course. Ms. LaMarche did an amazing job presenting the course, as well as the other two speakers that were a part of some sections. Overall, the Online Special Learning Course was everything I expected and more." - Maja Nikolov, Parent
MELANIE TAN
Greetings! I do appreciate all the lessons, I learned a lot and little by little applied it to my students and to my son. It was a big help for me to start and how to do it all. Thank you very much for the learning. God bless.
Carolyn Sabinsky
"I am learning a lot from this training. It is a lot of information to absorb, but I really like the flexibility to be able to go back to the power points if I need to. I also like the fact that I have the ability to make copies of the power points.
Some of the terminology in the training was unfamiliar to me. I want to be effective in transferring the knowledge learned into practical use. It takes me some time to prepare for the post test, but I do end up understanding the concepts.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. I do believe that this training will make me a better teacher and communicator to children with autism. I can also apply these principles to anyone who would benefit from ABA therapy."

Jolene Stratton
I am actually a dental hygienist. I have multiple autistic patients and special needs patients it is MY FAVORITE part of my day when they come in. I have been wanting to change careers and work with special needs population and a friend recommended the Level ABA course to me and it has been so wonderful. I am looking forward to taking more classes. I don’t necessarily want to go back to school to get my ABA degree however the knowledge your classes have given me makes me feel comfortable and confident that I can be successful in a para position or something similar.
Jamie Webb
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.
