Join our Real Science, Real Hope Initiative by Becoming a Sponsor

ASAT believes that individuals with autism have the right to effective treatments which are scientifically demonstrated to make meaningful, positive change in their lives. It can be challenging for families to find accurate information about the efficacy of various interventions for autism, and for that reason, central to ASAT’s mission, is the goal of disseminating accurate information about autism treatments. ASAT works toward a time when all families will be empowered to identify and choose the most effective, scientifically-validated interventions for their child, and all providers can be guided by science when selecting and implementing their interventions.

There are many organizations and businesses who, along with ASAT, are concerned about the plethora of treatments that lack scientific support – and the burden this then places on families and service providers who are struggling to make decisions about treatment.

Over 80 businesses and organizations participated in our professional and community sponsorship initiatives last year. They have indicated their support for ASAT and its mission to disseminate accurate, scientifically-sound information about autism and treatments for autism, and to improve access to effective, science-based treatments for all people with autism, regardless of age, severity of condition, income or place of residence. In 2010, we opened sponsorships up to include the support of members of the business community and other community-based organizations.

There are several levels of sponsorship, as follows:

  • Sustaining $10,000
  • Partner $5,000
  • Champion $2,000
  • Benefactor $1,000
  • Alliance $500
  • Patron $200

Details about the various benefits that we offer our sponsors can be found here: Sponsorship Benefits.

These sponsorships not only provide financial support used specifically for our dissemination efforts, but also send a clear message that ASAT’s vision is shared by others within the professional community. The funds provided by the ASAT sponsors will help support a number of directed efforts undertaken by ASAT this year (e.g., distribution of Science in Autism Treatment, a journalist/media education program, and public awareness of our newsletter and website).
ASAT’s Professional Sponsors have indicated their support of the following tenets:

  1. All treatments for individuals with autism should be guided by the best available scientific information.
  2. Service providers have a responsibility to rely on science-based treatments.
  3. Service providers should take steps necessary to help consumers differentiate between scientifically-validated treatments and treatments that lack validation.
  4. Consumers should be informed that any treatment lacking scientific support should be pursued with great caution, if at all.
  5. Objective data should be used when making clinical decisions.

The tasks of educating the public about scientifically validated intervention and countering pseudoscience are daunting ones; and ASAT appreciates the support of both our Professional and Community Sponsors.
