The ASAT Community recently lost one of our own. We honor Allison’s memory with tremendous gratitude and celebrate the enduring legacy she shares with her mother, Beverley Sharpe, one of our Board Members. Beverley’s tireless efforts ensured Allison had access to high-quality, evidence-based services—support that empowered her to live a full and meaningful life. We thank Allison for doing just that, and for showing us the profound impact of sacrifice, science, and compassion.

Happy National Sandwich Day! A great sandwich and great autism intervention have two things in common: quality ingredients and goodness of fit! This National Sandwich Day (officially tomorrow) ASAT reminds you that just like the perfect sandwich, effective autism interventions are built with care—and for autism intervention that means using evidence-based practices that fit the individual’s needs. Choose wisely. Choose what works.

…..And if you read this far tell us your favorite sandwich in the comments!
