ASAT online

"ASAT is a not-for-profit organization of parents and professionals committed to improving the education and care of people with autism.

Since autism was first identified, there has been a long history of failed treatments and fads, levied on vulnerable individuals as well as on their families. Many of these treatments have been too quickly adopted by professionals, too readily sensationalized by the media, and too hastily embraced by consumers well before supporting evidence or reasonable probability existed for their effectiveness or safety.

Our goal is to foster and promote higher standards of accountability and professionalism, in the treatment of autism. We believe that every person with autism has the right to appropriate education and care, and we promote evidence based interventions based on sound scientific research, as the best means of achieving that goal."
