This series of courses gives a systematic approach to training a special needs individual or group. I have been training children with autism, this course not only reinforces what I am doing and helps me see special needs individuals from another perspective. I would recommend this course to trainers who want to reach out to the special needs community or trainers with prior experience.

This course provides an excellent and comprehensive opportunity to learn not only about different conditions that impact the clients I serve (primarily those with intellectual disabilities: Down Syndrome, autism spectrum, Aspergers, dementia) but also cystic fibrosis and stoke. The course is well laid out and easy to follow, including text and videos. I have already used the included class lesson plans and interventions with some new clients!

The Strong Education course was full of great information where I learned how to incorporate proper communication tools, safety procedures, and furthered my knowledge on the special needs population. You also get to learn about the CBSE model they implement and the science behind the program and why it’s so effective.

The Adaptive Special Needs Certification Program has helped me find creative ways to get my son more active without putting too much pressure on him. We turn exercises into fun ways to “compete” with each other, while he works on his coordination and balance. We’re also getting more time together and taking more breaks from the television. I am so thankful I invested in the courses to help my son!
