158. Association for Science in Autism Treatment
DAVID A. CELIBERTI (Association for Science in Autism Treatment)
Abstract: The vast array of "proposed treatments" for autism can be both overwhelming and confusing for consumers. Sadly, there is not a shared commitment to empirical validation, research, and data-based decision making amongst providers. The Association for Science and Autism Treatment (ASAT) strives to be an important resource for individuals with autism, family members, professionals, and paraprofessionals, in fact, for anyone interested in reliable, science-based and accurate information about autism and its treatments. Founded in 1998, the mission of the ASAT is to promote safe, effective, science-based treatments for individuals with autism by disseminating accurate, timely, and scientifically-sound information; advocating for the use of scientific methods to guide treatment; and, combating unsubstantiated, inaccurate and false information about autism and its treatment. For more information please visit ASAT's website at www.asatonline.org. To receive Science in Autism Treatment, ASAT's free quarterly newsletter, subscribe at www.asatonline.org/signup

Behavior and Philosophy

ERIK ARNTZEN (Oslo and Akershus University College), Hanna Steinunn Steingrimsdottir (Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences)
Abstract:

Founded in 1973 under the name Behaviorism, Behavior and Philosophy is a journal devoted to the philosophical, metaphysical, and methodological foundations of the study of behavior, brain, and mind. In addition to original articles, critical or historical reviews and responses to articles are also welcome. While we hope that everything we publish will be scientifically and philosophically sound, we insist above all on clarity and directness, respecting Francis Bacons dictum that truth will sooner come from error than confusion. Every article should be accessible to an educated but unspecialized audience. Behavior and Philosophy is published online at www. behavior.org. It is important to note that papers published online in peer-reviewed journals have the same status as papers published in the printed version.

 
162. Division 25 American Psychological Association
TARA A. FAHMIE (California State University, Northridge), Leonard Green (Washington University), Mark P. Reilly (Central Michigan University), Eric A. Jacobs (Southern Illinois University Carbondale)
Abstract: The voice of psychology in the public policy arena is the American Psychological Association (APA) and the voice of Behavior Analysis within the APA is Division 25. The stronger our numbers, the louder our voice. If behavior analysts are not strongly represented in APA, then APA is unlikely to advocate for Behavior Analysis when speaking with government officials, funding agencies, and to the general public. Division 25 was founded in 1964 to (a) Promote basic research in the experimental analysis of behavior, (b) Encourage applications of such research to human affairs, and (c) Cooperate with other divisions whose interests overlap with the Division.
