Chung founded the company nearly a decade ago to help parents of children with autism around the globe gain access to a quality autism intervention called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Over the past 9 years, Special Learning, has served over 10,000 clients living in over 100 different countries. With a portfolio of over 500 training and educational resources, and more being developed monthly, Special Learning offers the most extensive array of solutions available in the global market.

In addition to its popular Spanish products, Special Learning has plans to release its trainings and educational materials in Russian and French this year, along with Arabic, Mandarin and Italian projects in the development pipeline for release in 2020.

With less than 38,000 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) in the world- only 10% of whom practice outside the U.S.- over 95% of the world are unable to access quality ABA services. By training over 120,000 licensed psychologists in the U.S. how to develop and implement quality ABA programs, Special Learning is offering solutions to solve the acute shortage of quality ABA practitioners in the world. By offering BCBA candidate supervision training programs to Psychologists, the Company aims to remove the bottleneck that is constricting the number of new BCBAs being added to the field annually.

In partnership with thought leaders across multi-disciplinary health and behavioral fields, Special Learning is able to offer access to best in-class learning opportunities available to professionals, educators and parents who support individuals with autism and other special needs. Their current LIVE webinar series include highly relevant topics such as ADHD, Multi-disciplinary Collaboration and Professional and Organizational Ethics.
