Telehealth ABA World provides free online behavioral services to professionals and families with autistic children. Educational presentations and one-on-one services teach strategies for skill development and behavior management.

Join us on April 2, 2026, World Autism Awareness Day, as we make history by connecting 70+ centers across multiple continents to celebrate autism and provide free screenings. Together, we'll spark a spectrum of possibilities worldwide!

Autalnet, launching in January 2026, aims to connect thousands of autistic individuals with meaningful employment opportunities in inclusive global environments. Currently fundraising to build this transformative Autism Talent Network.

Oyana connects Nigerian people with international scholarship opportunities, making quality global education accessible to those who dream of studying abroad. The initiative is expanding to include employment opportunities and mentorship programs.

Since 2015, ABA World has delivered more than 564 presentations across 46 countries, reaching diverse audiences through in-person and telehealth formats. Our global footprint spans healthcare institutions, academic environments, community centers, and specialized therapy facilities, disseminating applied behavior analysis worldwide.

Through the Telehealth ABA World project, we have delivered behavior analytic services to 138 families across Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These services were provided at no cost by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst through video conferencing, allowing families to receive support directly in their homes.

We have collaborated with 54 organizations, including universities, hospitals, parent groups, private and public schools, local governments, therapy centers, NGOs, and generous sponsors. We are grateful for the partnerships we have established and look forward to continuing this journey of mutual support.

A key goal of our project is to create literature that promotes the dissemination of services and support to people worldwide. To this end, we have published three scientific articles, along with numerous features in newspapers, magazines, and online articles.

We believe in the power of education and are thrilled to share that we have assisted seven students with their school fees.

A key objective is to promote the global dissemination of behavior analysis. We are proud to have supervised 39 professionals working with individuals with autism in 22 countries.
