Peach (Parents for the Early Intervention in Autism in Children) aims to encourage, support and inform parents of children with autism in a variety of ways. The website includes a range of comprehensive information including details on the ABA (applied behavioural anaylsis) programme.

• Providing information and guidance on obtaining support from Local Education Authorities (LEAs).
• Providing information for preparing cases for special needs tribunals which establish educational needs.
• Publishing a bi-monthly newsletter Speach, which contains information from members, good practice amongst ABA providers and developments in research.
• Organising a parent to parent helpline so parents can talk to other parents.
• Hosting conferences and organising training.
• Lobbying government at all levels.
• Peach also provides ABA services and tries to raise awareness of autism and ABA.
• Peach clinical staff run workshops for tutors and parents.
• Clinical staff give talks to other professionals to raise awareness and understanding of ABA and autism.
