Developing Ability Limited t/a The Developing Ability Partnership has produced the first in a suite of multimedia training courses, available online and on DVD, that focus on the needs of parents and practitioners dealing with special educational needs, also known as learning disabilities. 

Currently we have a proof of concept up and running in the Republic of Ireland and expect to see the first course "First Steps in ABA" trialed in the USA and UK early 2009.  The follow on courses "Nexct Steps in ABA" and "Managing Challenging Behaviour" are almost complete and will be launched on a phased basis early in 2009. 

Once the marketing and distribution network is complete in Ireland, we will be shifting our focus to localising the existing course as well as developing additional content with subject matter experts in related fields such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, diet, legal frameworks etc. 

The opportunity to develop a global community of practice and through this a significant portal with an estimate audience in English speaking countries of some 25 million people, mostly engaged in professional healthcare delivery, clearly exists...

Ireland is the localisation hub for Europe, Middle East and Africa, so we would welcome any enquiries from significant organisations in non-English speaking domains.
