Association for Science in Autism Treatment

The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) is a not-for-profit organization based in Hoboken, New Jersey. Run entirely by a volunteer board of 15 professionals, many of whom have personal experience with autism as parents of children and adolescents with the condition, ASAT is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum. ASAT provides information and resources to families, educators, and healthcare professionals about evidence-based treatments and interventions for autism. The organization publishes a quarterly newsletter, "Science in Autism Treatment," which is distributed to over 13,000 recipients worldwide. ASAT also maintains a comprehensive website (www.asatonline.org) featuring suggested reading lists, web-based links, and articles on autism and its treatments. Prioritizing scientific rigor and accountability, ASAT set itself apart from other autism advocacy groups by embracing an empirical approach to understanding the causes and treatments of autism. The organization strives to ensure that families have access to the best possible interventions grounded in scientific evidence, delivered with compassion and competence.
