ABOUT US

The Learning for Life Autism Centre Inc (Learning for Life) is an NDIS registered, not for profit learning organisation, that delivers behavioural intervention and associated allied health programs based on the principles of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA).

Learning for Life was established in 2004 by a group of parents and professionals that identified the need for affordable, best practice, early intervention therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our organisation began by providing intensive, early intervention ABA programs to pre-school aged children, but since this time our service has expanded by way of the age groups we support and the types of programs offered. In addition to our intensive early intervention program we now provide behavioural support programs for school-aged children (both primary and high school) as well as offering psychology services, speech pathology, group social skills program, training for educators (including school-wide programs) and specialist behaviour support.
