Early intervention is crucial for supporting autistic children and their families, especially during the first five years when brain development is rapid.

Timely access to diagnosis and intervention services significantly impacts outcomes and family wellbeing.

Abacus Learning Centre, a leading provider of early intervention services for autistic children in Victoria since 2008, now offers positive behaviour support (PBS) services, complementing its existing programs.

The waitlist is open for new enquiries.

Abacus provides personalised, evidence-based early intervention programs tailored to each child’s strengths and needs.

Its comprehensive approach covers speech, language, social skills, adaptive living, and play skills through engaging, play-based learning.

Abacus offers centre, community, and home-based support, making learning flexible and enjoyable.

The dedicated clinical team of more than 60 staff implements life-changing programs aimed at enhancing, reducing, maintaining, and generalising target behaviours.

Families often describe their first meeting with Abacus as ‘a warm hug and a light at the end of a tunnel’.

Parents frequently express joy as they witness their child’s progress, seeing improvements in communication, behaviour, socialisation, and independence.

Abacus creates a positive, supportive environment where autistic children can thrive and reach their full potential.

As a registered NDIS provider, Abacus focuses on best-practice therapy to improve long-term outcomes for autistic children, benefiting the child, their family, and the community.
