How to reach ABA World.

Most of what people ask us is answered on this page. If your question is not here, there is a form at the bottom. We read everything that comes through it.

Answers to what we are asked most

Please read these before writing to us. They will save you time, and they are the honest answers rather than a delayed no.

We do not schedule introductory calls

ABA World answers inquiries by email. We do not book introductory or discovery calls. If a conversation turns out to be the right next step, we will suggest one ourselves.

We have no paid positions available

ABA World hires from its volunteer base whenever possible, so that both sides know each other before any commitment. If you would like to work with us, the path is to volunteer. There is no guarantee of employment, and volunteering is currently self-funded.

We cannot provide funding, equipment, or sponsorship

ABA World has no grants program and no hardship fund. We cannot provide money, laptops, phones, data, travel costs, or equipment to individuals or organizations. We are a small nonprofit with no guaranteed funding of our own. We are sorry to be blunt, but a clear answer is better than silence.

We do not accept external speaking invitations

ABA World runs its own free parent training webinars every three months and publishes a free video series. Both are open to everyone and listed on our calendar. We are not able to take on outside speaking engagements.

Free training for an organization is by application, once a year

Applications open every January. Where scheduling allows, ABA World selects one ministry, university, school, NGO, or community organization to receive a free training program, delivered on an agreed date. We are not able to consider requests outside that window.

ABA World does not diagnose

Our community work is screening and support, not diagnosis. Through our Sponsored Autism Evaluation Program, ABA World funds and arranges a free evaluation for a family in need; the evaluation itself is conducted by licensed clinicians, including a neurologist.

What you can apply for

Every ABA World program is free. Each has its own form, and some open only at fixed times of year so that everyone knows when to apply.
