Autism Pathways

Autism Pathways is a non-profit organisation that trains, educates and supports parents, carers, and professionals working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism Pathways advocates for the adoption of early Applied Behaviour Intervention (ABA). Applied Behavioural Analysis is an evidence-based intervention that changes the behaviour, learning, and life outcomes of children with autism. It is recognised by the Federal Government’s Helping Children with Autism package as a comprehensive evidence-based intervention. It is also the only program to get an ‘ER’ rating from the Federal Government (ie, eligible based on established research evidence). Autism Pathways credibility and reputation is built upon almost two decades of support and information for people who live with, work with, or love a child with autism. Since its inception, its supporters and stakeholders have worked in the areas of advocacy and awareness, promoting and positioning ABA Therapy as a viable and sought-after option for families with an ASD child. The result is a peak industry body with the infrastructure and expertise to assist families, educators and professionals to better support ASD children. Autism Pathways also facilitates a quarterly ABA for Autism Round Table, and a biennial ABA conference. ABA Today is the only national autism conference to focus specifically on Applied Behaviour Analysis. ABA Today brings together the Victorian and Australian ABA communities, to showcase the most up-to-date ABA knowledge, research, and clinical practices.
