Whether you are special education teacher, general education teacher, administrator, related service provider, or paraprofessional, you play an important role in supporting students with autism. We invite you to explore science-based approaches that can help you make informed decisions, strengthen your practice, and support meaningful learning. The field of special education has long been challenged by fad treatments, misconceptions, and conflicting information. At ASAT, our mission is to promote safe, effective, and science-based treatments for people with autism and to make trustworthy information accessible to the educators who support them every day.

With this mission in mind, we created this dedicated area of our website to bring together practical, evidence informed resources for educational professionals. Here, you’ll find a growing collection of treatment summaries, research synopses, booklists, book and article reviews, newsletter articles, and other resources designed to help educators navigate the challenges and opportunities they encounter in their daily work. We are continually expanding this collection. As new resources are featured in our monthly newsletter and added to our website, we’ll highlight them here, making it easier for educators to find reliable, science-based information when they need it most.

Autism Articles for Teachers

We are deeply grateful to Office Puzzle for their generous Partner Level Sponsorship, which helped make possible the expansion of ASAT’s website and the development of more dedicated resources for educators. Their support enables us to make reliable, science-based information more accessible to the teachers, administrators, related service providers, and paraprofessionals who play such an important role in supporting students with autism. We are proud to recognize Office Puzzle for helping us strengthen this important resource and extend the reach of evidence-based information to the educational community
