About Our Training Classes
Our Autism classes are offered online, and you can access the class on any computer with an internet connection at any time of day that is convenient for you. Each class has a small group of participants, so you can receive individual help and support from both your instructor and through discussion with others in the class. Each class includes weekly training videos, extra video examples and articles for in-depth learning, activities to help apply the strategies to your own children or students, and a private message board to discuss questions and ideas with the group. Each group is limited to 10-15 people, so please register early! Do-It-Yourself ABA June 24, 2013 - September 15, 2013 A home-based ABA program can cost $15,000 to $80,000 (and up) per year.

"Thank you for all you do. Knowing there are people like you working tirelessly for more knowledge really encourages me – I know my students are better off because of the learning and teaching that you do. Thank you so much from all of us." - Jacquie, Teacher "Positively Autism is providing a great service to parents and special Ed teachers to learn about autism therapies in the comfort of your own home. Since many parents have limited time to drive around for 12 weeks, being able to take an online course is much easier. Nicole is quite helpful, and willing to answer questions you have throughout the course." - Lynn, Parent "I thought it was very informative and gave some really great resources to help us implement what was covered in the book." - Jenna, Teacher "I really enjoyed doing the course and being able to chat with other participants. I am very grateful for the support from Nicole. It was really appreciated to feel like I am doing the right thing by my student, and have gone away with some great ideas to continue, and hopefully only make things easier." - Abigail, Educator "This course gave me inspiration and opened my eyes – now I know what should I do and how can I do every time in my challenging routine." - Nataly, Parent Reducing Problem Behavior January 6, 2014 - March 28, 2014 Book: "Freedom from Meltdowns" by Dr. Travis Thompson Early Registration (November 1, 2013 - November 30, 2013): $249 Regular Registration (December 1, 2013 - December 20, 2013): $299 Group Registration (4 or more, November 1 - December 20): $199 each.
