Dr Vicki Bitsika is the Director of Bond’s Centre for Autism Spectrum Disorders and one of Australia's leading authorities on this topic. She has specialised in the assessment and treatment of individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder for 25 years.
Vicki has worked extensively, hands-on with children, adolescents, and adults on the autism spectrum, and also trained parents in techniques for managing the behavioural challenges their children experience in the home environment.
Dr Bitsika's current research is focused on sensory processing patterns in school children with an autism condition, support programmes for siblings, psychological outcomes for parents of children with an autism condition, and classroom techniques for working with the challenging behaviour of students with an autism condition.
