About ABIQ
Autism Behavioural Intervention Queensland (ABIQ)
Inc. was formed to enhance the treatment of children with Autism in Queensland, Australia and to promote the use of
Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) to achieve this. Please read our mission statement to obtain a
greater understanding of our goals.
ABA therapy
services
Whilst ABIQ does not directly provide ABA therapy services, it does provide a network for ABA resources including ABA
service providers, complementary professionals and ABA program materials. Parents and Carers of
children with Autism and their families are invited to contact ABIQ to find out
more about ABA, how to access ABA
therapy, where to find resources for ABA
programs and other useful information.
Complementary therapies
We also welcome enquiries from professionals and
wish to hear in particular from those providing ABA and complementary services such as speech
therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, auditory integration therapy and
biomedical and dietary therapies.1Parental support
Support is also provided through regular social
gatherings where parents can meet and share their stories and exchange their
experiences and successes. These occasions are advertised in ABIQ's newsletter or can be accessed via Social Events
Calendar.

Membership is open to all interested parties, including
immediate and extended families of children with Autism, carers, teaching
assistants and professionals.
