The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (or ASAT for short) is an organization promoting applied behavior analysis and other autism therapies supported by scientific research and opposing autism therapies without scientific evidence.〔(Recommendations )〕〔(Recommendations of expert panels & government task forces )〕 It describes its mission as "to disseminate scientifically sound information about autism and treatments for autism," as well as "promot() effective training models in university settings."〔(Science, Pseudoscience and Antiscience )〕 It was founded in 1998 and is based in Hoboken, New Jersey.〔(Contact Us )〕 Members of its advisory board include Eric Fombonne and Stephen Barrett,〔(Board of Directors, Advisory Board and Committee Members )〕 and Bridget Taylor is one of its board members.〔(Bridget A. Taylor )〕 A report by the Association for Behavior Analysis International mentioned ASAT's website as a useful resource for parents of children with autism,〔(Consumer Guidelines for Identifying, Selecting, and Evaluating Behavior Analysts Working with Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders )〕 as does the website of the University of North Texas〔(Autism Resources )〕 and that of the University of Michigan Health System.〔(Autism, Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) )〕 The ASAT publishes a biannual newsletter, Science in Autism Treatment. ==Views== The ASAT has condemned chelation therapy as an autism treatment, noting that two children have been reported to have died as a result of this therapy, and concluding that "there is not enough scientific evidence available at this time to advocate a role for chelation of heavy metals in the treatment of autism, and there is potential for adverse side effects."〔()〕 They take a similar viewpoint with regard to the use of secretin.〔()〕 Treatments they consider to be unproven, rather than disproven, include homeopathy〔(Herbs and Homeopathic Treatments )〕 and animal therapy.〔(Animal therapy )〕
