About The Organisation

Since 2008, Abacus has touched the lives of Victorian families who travel from all over Melbourne to access our centre-based therapy programs.

At the heart of our service, we are committed to helping young autistic people connect, communicate and learn.

Abacus early intervention programs are based on extensive clinical experience and research. The team focus on improving a child’s ability to effectively learn in social and educational settings.

Ensuring every child has fun and is motivated is a key element of each one of the tailored programs that meets the needs of both the individual student and their families.
