Special Learning Announces New Virtual Consulting Program for Families and Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- Special Learning Inc., the leading global provider of mobile technology applications and educational resources for the special needs community, announced today the launch of its newest service, the SL Virtual Consultation Assessment and Treatment (V-CAT) Program. Special Learning's newest service is designed to provide convenient access to evidence-based treatment provided by skilled practitioners in the field of Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), the SL V-CAT program offers a range of comprehensive services including consultation, skills evaluation, treatment planning, ongoing training, and ongoing case supervision.
“There is an overwhelming need for access to quality Autism-related services in all areas of the world,” said Karen Chung, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The SL V-CAT Program provides families with convenient access to what we confidently believe are the best behavior analytic services available in the world without having to travel thousands, hundreds or even tens of miles to access them.”
Using easily accessible video conferencing tools, internet-based and mobile app platforms, Special Learning is able to offer convenient and affordable access to highly qualified experts in the field of behavior analysis to families who need it most, without any geographical boundaries.
The V-CAT program is a very simple yet comprehensive and powerful 5-step program that puts children with special needs on the path to success using three critical elements: (1) qualified experts; (2) evidence-based principles and procedures, and (3) highly effective tools and materials, all working in conjunction to ensure accurate and successful implementation.
The 5-step program includes:
• Initial Consultation
• Comprehensive Skills Evaluation
• Individualized Treatment Planning
• Ongoing ABA Therapy Services
• Ongoing Case Supervision
In addition, the SL V-CAT program offers a highly cost effective option for parents and caregivers who elect to become certified Special Learning Behavior Therapists. By doing so they can acquire the skills necessary for independent implementation of ABA interventions with oversight from a Special Learning BCBA Case Supervisor.
Parents who are interested in enrolling in the SL V-CAT program can schedule a complementary 30 minute consultation with a member of the Special Learning clinical team by writing to jroumeliote(at)special-learning(dot)com, or calling (773) 754-8756.
