ABAILE Support Group for Parents

ABAILE aims to provide help, guidance and support to parents of Children with Autism.  While concentrating on those working with ABA home programmes we would like to offer assistance to any parent.  ABAILE members meet regularly and also phone and email with any information, news or ideas.   

We have a very active monthly support group meeting on the 3rd Wed of each month in Donegans , Monasterboice where all are welcome.



Advocacy

ABAILE provides advocacy services to families in this area helping with form filling , appeals  and lobbying for services on their behalf as well as attending meetings with parents to lend support.
