To help us address the many needs of our constituents who are concerned
about services for people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), APBA has
established an ASD Task Force. For the initial membership of the Task Force,
we recruited people with distinguished track records in designing and
providing intervention programs, training practitioners and parents,
conducting applied research, working with professional and consumer
organizations, advocating for scientifically validated interventions, and
working with policymakers. Collectively, Task Force members have a wealth
of knowledge and experience that they will bring to bear on such burning issues as
professional credentialing, funding for ABA services, and public policies affecting
practitioners and consumers.
