Try Level 1 with your team: a decision guide
Use this guide to evaluate whether the foundations course fits your staff and the people they support before purchasing. Confirm trial access before planning a group review.
1. Set up a small review
The product page describes a seven-day trial covering the first two sessions. Ask Special Learning whether trial access is available to multiple staff before scheduling them. A supervisor can evaluate the course if trial access is available. Record observations on paper; this page has no form submission.
Trial start: ____________________ Review date: ____________________
See the course and free trial2. Discuss what you saw
- Could the learner access the trial and follow the session? What support would they need?
- Are the examples relevant to the people and settings your staff support? The course draws largely on work with young children in classrooms and homes.
- Does the material fit your staff’s existing experience and your supervisor’s instruction?
- Can each learner make time for nine sessions, each session’s pre-test and post-test, and the final exam within their access period?
- Which required role-specific training must your agency arrange separately?
Notes:
3. Check the limits before deciding
Level 1 does not meet state-mandated training, qualify anyone to practise ABA, or provide the 40-hour RBT training, RBT certification, or continuing-education credit. It does not cover restraint, restrictive procedures, crisis intervention, trauma-informed care or adult services.
Session 1 presents information from 2012; since 2013, the DSM-5 has classified autism under one diagnosis, autism spectrum disorder. Use current clinical guidance and your organization’s policies alongside the course.
For groups of ten or more, the course is $99 per learner, paid once; purchased access lasts 10 weeks from the day each access code is activated. Estimate your team’s course price.
