Conferences of Interest
ASAT strives to inform the public about upcoming conferences and presentations which not only feature, but emphasize treatments that have been scientifically validated, or those interventions which show legitimate promise through the use of controlled and careful research. However, since we cannot preview the content of every presentation offered at such conferences, the listing of a conference here should not be construed as an endorsement of all the information presented at such conferences. ASAT recommends asking conference speakers to document the published research that supports their presentations since we believe that people with autism have a right to effective, validated interventions.
