About the organisation
The Autism Behavioural Intervention Association (ABiA) is a small, but very successful registered charity and social enterprise, representing individuals and families living with autism. For more than 25 years, the ABiA has pioneered face-to-face and on-line training services based on contemporary evidence-based practices for supporting people on the autism spectrum. Annually, the organisation trains more than 700 people across the country who support multiple children and families, work with individuals in family homes, child-care centres, at schools, in clinics, and/or in community settings. Training is offered face-to-face and online via livestreaming or e-learning.
