ABOUT ABAEDU

High-quality education in a rapidly growing field

ABAEDU was founded in response to a specific challenge: the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) was expanding rapidly, while access to high-quality professional education was not keeping pace.

Our response was to build a comprehensive educational ecosystem with QABA and IBAO approval. Today, this ecosystem extends beyond ABA to encompass neurodevelopment, learning, and communication.

We began in Brazil, where we established a strong presence in higher education, and we are now expanding our reach across Latin America.
