ASAT thanks CST Academy for joining our sponsorship effort at the Alliance level! Welcome! We appreciate your support of our mission to disseminate science-based information about autism treatment.

Speech-language pathologist Karen George founded CST Academy in 2009. Since then, the company has grown and now includes eight clinics in the greater Chicagoland area. CST Academy’s philosophy is based on the belief that every child possesses a unique set of strengths, challenges, and potential. Programs for each child are individualized and tailor-made and created in collaboration with family and caregivers. CST Academy provides speech and language, ABA, OT, PT, and play therapy provided by multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring that interventions are comprehensive and focused on the child’s success.

Over 3,400 organizations in North America have signed on for QBS’s Safety-Care® training programs. The training courses designed to address problems faced by human service organizations such as elopement, physical and verbal aggression, self-injury, and property destruction, use evidence-based behavioral teaching techniques that support organizations in incorporating reinforcement strategies throughout their programs. Safety-Care® trainers integrate their techniques with the behavioral treatment programs that may already exist in the organization, lessoning the stress on staff to learn a new set of protocols.

A six-week pause might help quiet the endless “Try this! Try that!” discourse that bombards the autism community. Individuals with autism, their families, and practitioners deserve approaches grounded in science and compassion—not hype and exaggeration.

Let’s invest in interventions that actually show measurable, meaningful outcomes. Learn more about evidence-based approaches at www.asatonline.org

When it comes to how we can best help the autism community, evidence matters more than promises. Big claims can sound appealing, especially to families searching for help. That’s why it’s important to look beyond the promise and ask what research actually supports it. Evidence-based practice protects individuals with autism and empowers families to make informed decisions.

Black History Month is an annual celebration that honors the immense contributions, resilience, and achievements of African Americans. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role Black individuals have played in shaping the history of both the United States and Canada. This month invites reflection on the struggles endured and the victories earned, while recognizing the strength, perseverance, and vision of Black communities across generations.

At the same time, Black History Month offers an important opportunity to examine challenges that continue to persist—particularly at the intersection of race and autism. It is a time to acknowledge and address the barriers and biases that too often prevent Black autistic individuals from accessing timely diagnoses, appropriate supports, and meaningful opportunities. These systemic disparities can have lasting and profound impacts on individuals and their families.

As we celebrate the achievements of Black individuals this month, let us also commit to confronting and reducing these disparities. By striving for greater equity, inclusion, and awareness, we can help ensure that all autistic individuals and their loved ones—regardless of race or background—have the support they deserve to live joyful, fulfilling lives. Together, we can work toward a future where every voice is heard, every individual is seen, and everyone is given the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
