ASAT
Clinical Corner
In Clinical Corner, we are pleased to present questions regarding facets of science-based intervention or treatment delivery, with responses from renowned experts in the field of autism. If you have a question you would like us to feature, please submit it to newsletter@asatonline.org. Although ASAT cannot answer specific questions about a particular individual and his/her treatment, we attempt to help by giving examples of intervention strategies that have proven helpful for other children and adults with autism who may have faced similar issues.
You will find our existing Clinical Corner responses listed below by category. We hope you will enjoy reading through the various responses. This section will be expanded throughout the year.
